I wonder if anyone can duplicate the problem by creating a partition and having it mounted in fstab by volume label and see if it appears twice.
Not quite the same, but I've a USB drive that I plugged in after removing "noauto" from the fstab entry.
$ grep 4 /etc/fstab LABEL=BkUp_4_5 /media/sdc1 ext2 defaults,noatime 0 0
Hmmm, and if the mount point were outside of /media?
Got a nice little message telling me (in Gnome desktop) that I wasn't priveleged to mount it. That's as I would expect since I was already logged in at my desktop. Mount showed it mounted.
$ mount /dev/sdc1 on /media/sdc1 type ext2 (rw,noatime)
Is that fixed or removable media?
Now I'll reboot and see what happens.
Rebooted. Prior to entering "telinit 5", did a "mount" and it was mounted. After logging onto graphical desktop, one icon on the desktop. As expected.
I'm led back to the conclusion that there is some oddity about the device definitions on Mark's problematic unit.
There could be, could you give it a try with another mount point outside of /media and with a fixed disk if it isn't already?
