Comment 57 for bug 463347

For as long as I can remember, going back several Ubuntu versions, I've been able to plug in my external USB backup drive and it has automatically mounted on /media/Backup and opened a Nautilus window. However, about 2-3 weeks ago this just stopped working and I have had to manually mount my external USB backup drive or reboot my laptop to get auto-mounting working again. Having found this bug report, running the "sudo udevadm control --reload-rules" seems to get auto-mounting working again.
