I see (repeatable and verifiable) that if a removeable disk is in the machine when it boots (*), directories and subdirectories as defined in /etc/fstab are created, and the disk mounted as expected. The same disk, when inserted after the system boots (exact same udev rules and /etc/fstab entries), does not get the same behavior. An even more interesting thing is that when the disks are removed (via umount) the /media entries go away. And since reinsertion after boot does not result in the same mount point creation in /media, we have a problem.
Notice that what is plugged in before booting does not gets mounted by the desktop - that's the difference. I think they get mounted on behalf of "root", but I don't know exactly by what process.
(*) The SuperMicro systems we have require this or the drive bay is disabled by the BIOS. Strange but true. SuperMicro blame the intel chipset that deals with removable SATS disks.
Maybe related. I got recently a bay for inserting hard disks into my desktop from the outside, hotw-swap. My motherboard has 6 SATA connectors on one side, 2 eSATA connector on the back edge of the board, and 2 connectors inside that are raid capable, and which I had connected via an eSATA plug to the outside. It turned out, after many tests, that those 6 are not hot-swapable. Linux sees the disk, but not the partition. I had to connect the bay to one of the raid connectors, which accepts hot-swap just fine. I think that each of those groups is a different chipset. I have: Model: "Intel 82801JI (ICH10 Family) 4 port SATA IDE Controller" Device: pci 0x3a20 "82801JI (ICH10 Family) 4 port SATA IDE Controller" Model: "Intel 82801JI (ICH10 Family) 2 port SATA IDE Controller" Device: pci 0x3a26 "82801JI (ICH10 Family) 2 port SATA IDE Controller" and the other might be: 35: PCI 400.0: 0106 SATA controller (AHCI 1.0) Model: "JMicron JMB362/JMB363 AHCI Controller" Vendor: pci 0x197b "JMicron Technology Corp."
