I'm having issue with latest Ubuntu 12.10. Let me make it more clear.
I'm having the following partitions in my Laptop.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2048 39997439 19997696 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 * 40001850 81947564 20972857+ 83 Linux

/dev/sda8 753039360 976773119 111866880 83 Linux
I have also two users named "ms" and abc. Here ms is for administrative tasks and abc for my friends. When I mount any drive under "abc" user, I cannot access it under my other user "ms". Same as in the case with "ms" user. I found possible reason behind the issue. When I mount any drive under "abc" user, Ubuntu will try to mount it under "/media/abc/volume_name" instead of "/media/volume_name" . Same as in the case with "ms" user.
# df -h

Here, you can see that "TEST" was mounted under "/media/abc/TEST". When I try to access the already mounted partition named '/media/abc/TEST" in my "ms" session I'm getting the following error.
How to fix this error? Is it a bug? Is there any way to fix this without modifying the underlying file-system structure?
