The mounted devices, in my case, are not removable devices. They are disks that exist on other computers on my network that are shared by NFS. (BTW, I see the same issue with smb/cifs.) I manually perform the mounts when needed. using "mount /mnt/<exported_directory>" with the appropriated entries added to fstab.... Also, I'm using Gnome, if that matters. Trying to read between the lines, is the fstab entry technique deprecated? Is there a new process that is supposed to be used? I suffer from a certain amount of inertia, here. If it works, I just keep on using the same technique. Perhaps I missed the change. Enlighten me, anyone?
