Bug Description

In a configuration with multiple drives/partitions users are unable to easily set what partitions automount on logon without modifying fstab or installing dedicated tools.
Some programs may return errors if some file in other partitions are needed, wallpapers stored in other drives disappear until the drive or partition has mounted manually.

Configurations with multiple partitions are quite advanced, not something that everyday users have to deal with, so this is not really a paper cut.

But I do think bug #389212 will ameliorate this situation for most users with internal partitions.

Adding this bug to Project Ayatana, as general partition management in Ubuntu needs some usability improvements.

@Fabio - Unfortunately, I can't test if this bug still exists in the latest release.

The issue at the time was that if I have multiple internal partitions on my hard drive, I didn't have the ability to set one or more partitions to auto mount when I log in. I'd have to mount them manually and individually.
