If you happened to experience issues with auto-mounting of USB hard disks in
Debian 6.0, like the one on the attached screenshot, then read on as this is very easy to fix. The problem is caused by an improper entry in
/etc/fstab created by Debian installer: if you've installed Debian from a USB disk, then a "cdrom" entry pointing to that drive could have been created in fstab, e.g.
/dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
Just remove such entry and you're done! Note: I experienced this issue when installing Debian 6.0 iso. Chances are this issue was corrected by Debian 6.0.1a (or later) iso, but I haven't verified this.
