(Get the code!)
This is caused by the different ways of how devices can re removed. If you see the plugged in device on the desktop you can do the following:
1. Unmount
This will (as the name says) unmount the disk. The link on the desktop gets removed, but you can still see the disk in 'Places', or the side pane in nautilus to mount it again if you need it.
2. Eject (This is the problem)
Eject will behave as 'Unmount', but also remove the link in 'Places' and the side pane of nautilus. This is what will be triggered if you click the icon next to a device in the side pane. The problem now is, that it leaves a link in 'computer:///' (the 'Computer' view), which doesn't give the option to mount it again.
3. Safely Remove Drive
This is the same as 'Eject', but it also removes the link in 'computer:///', so it's basically a fixed version of 'Eject'.
So in the end they should drop 'Eject' in favor of 'Safely Remove Drive' to fix this.
