While I can see the difficulty in solving this problem, I do see it as a bug. If nothing else it's a functionality hindrance. From a system perspective there's no real distinction between a SATA port and an eSATA port, if I'm understanding things correctly. However, from a user's perspective, plugging in a USB drive "just works" and the drive is mounted and ready to go. Now, plugging the very same drive in via eSATA results in it not being mounted. In fact mounting it (under 9.10) requires a password. While some might not see this as much of an annoyance, I'm sure others like myself do.
