Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Following an automatic upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 between mid January and 6th February 2010 I can no longer mount any disks except the File System disc /.
The same problem occurs on two different Ubuntu machines, both running Ubuntu 9.10.
Both machines have two identical SATA discs - one has the File System on it and the other has other files which were accessible but now are not. One machine has a USB disc and that can not be mounted either.
All disks are visible in Computer File Browser but double clicking gets a pop up window message "Unable to Mount Location Not Authorized."
System-
In Terminal I get:
david@tekels1:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb
mount: can't find /dev/sdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
and indeed they are not listed in those files.
This is of course business critical as I'm in the process of moving my business servers from Windoze to Ubuntu ! Fortunately they are not live yet.
david@tekels1:~$ lsb_release -rd

Thank you for your bug report. Do you remember what you upgraded? The list should be in /var/log/dpkg.log. Did it work before?
The mount command has nothing to do with GNOME and it seems to issue there is not a nautilus one. Did you have fstab lines for those drives before?
