Comment 8 for bug 101845

fdisk after another reboot:

That partition changed back to /dev/sdE1. This isn't normal behavior, is it? I never noticed device names changing like that...

And, of course, /media now contains the "dead" mount points from the last two sessions as well as the new, once again changed, ones:

---
$ cd /media
$ ls -l

Also weird is the difference in ownerships/permissions of the four partitions. The real ones here are:

drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 2008-03-27 20:12 Archive__
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16384 2008-03-27 20:12 Data__
drwx------ 4 user root 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 disk-4
drwxr-xr-x 5 user user 104 2008-02-25 17:42 disk-5

They map to /dev/sdc1, /dev/sde1, /dev/sdc2 and /dev/sde5 respectively in the above fdisk output. Note how some are owned by root and others by the user, as well as the very different permissions. Is this normal?
