Not sure about that. Certainly, a little while ago, when I pulled a root
drive out of one server, which was powered down, and shoved it into a hot
swap bay of an identical system, /dev/sdb[123] were created, but since
it's not in /etc/fstab, it wasn't mounted. I mounted it manually.
Removable media do get automounted, but to /media/whatever.
