Honestly speaking, this "bug" is not a REAL bug at all in the eyes of developers or linux expertise because they can always manually do everything. However, since KDE is a desktop environment targeting at regular desktop users, letting average users do manual work each time when they plug in external storage devices may contradict the original effort of KDE, isn't it? So it IS a bug from regular desktop users' perspective.

I was unware of this "bug" because i use Gnome most of the time and wanted to give new KDE a try. When I plugged in my external hard drive to backups as I usually did in Gnome, the unfortunate "lower case" default and unchangable options in KDE led to the deletion of most of my backed data in the external hard drive, hundreds of giga bytes! What a nightmare! Of course, experts can always say that you can manually do the mount job, which is not the purpose of this post.
