It happens, I think, with all filesystems on all mountable devices, and
I think it's not actually gnome-volume-manager but something in hotplug
or one of its allies. Happens on SUSE 10 too.
For me, the entire idea of autmounting things is broken. For example
1. I insert a CD-RW to reuse. Do I want it mounted?
2. I plug in a USB2 drive. Do I want its five or ten partitions mounted?
Probably not, more likely one.
3. I'm working at a virtual console (I have twelve defind, sometimes use
more, and also use screen). Do I want anything mounted and opened at the
desktop? Probably not. Working through a stack of CDs is a pain. I used
to do things like this:
mount /mnt/cdrom && ls -l /mnt/cdrom; eject /mnt/cdrom
Hint: read the instructions for preparing for a network install of FC &
RHEL.
Now the wretched things are likely to get opened on the desktop. Worse,
I've had ISOs get opened when mounted too.
