automount

Provide my spec and sorry for my poor English first.

MB: Gigabyte G31M-S2L (bios ver. F9)
CPU: intel E5200
2G RAM
HD1: WD 160G with 2 partitions (partition 1:60G, NTFS, win xp; partition 2:100G, NTFS)
HD2: WD 320G with 2 partitions (partition 3:220G, NTFS; partition 4:100G, ext4, Ubuntu)

Recently, I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 on my desktop PC (on partition 4).
At the beginning, everything looked great including the auto-mounting of partitions 1~3 and the unity (3D).

However, after I deleted and re-allocated the partitions on HD2 and re-installed Ubuntu on partition 4, the partitions 1~3 are no longer auto-mounted when I logged in the desktop (and even the inserted cdrom would not be mounted either).

The configurations during these two installations are all the same as default.

Are there any possible reasons or solutions for this issue?

What's up with stat on MacOSX/Darwin? Or filesystems without names...

In response to a question I asked on SO, Give the mount point of a path, one respondant suggested using stat to get the device name associated with the volume of a given path. This works nicely on Linux, but gives crazy results on MacOSX 10.4. For my system, df and mount give: cas cas$ df Filesystem… >>> More
