Bug Description

The external USB drive only mounts once. If I remove it and replug it doesn't get mounted.
I found the following solution here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2385192#post2385192

Editing the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi and for usb devices setting 'requires_eject' to false, fixes it.

Furthermore, to unmount the external USB drive I now get 'Unmout volume' instead of 'eject' which seems more appropriate to me.
