Bug Description

I have a NTFS partition labelled "NTFS_50GB".

I don't remember how I set it up, but it used to get automatically mounted at /media/NTFS_50GB

Now, after upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04, this has changed and it gets mounted at /medta/teo/NTFS_50GB

(teo is my username).

This breaks, among other things, a virtual machine of mine in VirtualBox that uses a file in that folder.
I guess I can easily fix that, but such things should not be touched by an upgrade without warning the user during the upgrade process.

I also have another partition that hasn't changed the place where it gets mounted; I guess that's because I have explicitely configured that in /etc/fstab. However, the upgrade manager should warn the user about this change in the default mountpoint and also ask whether the user whishes to accept the change or keep the setting as before.
