Just upgraded Xubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 (both XFCE and LXDE desktops are being used at this system). Now I have 2 mount points for each partition. It looks like this:

mount points doubled

It appears this way in both Thunar and PCManFM. However, there are no dupes in Nautilus.

There are no SCSI drives in this system. What could cause this problem? Is it a bug?

This happened to me as well. I was just experimenting with settings when I found a way to remove the duplicates. It is by no means a solution, but I thought I'd share the observation.

There is a setting in Settings Editor called "/desktop-icons/style" and if you change it from the default 2 to 1 and then back to 2, the duplicates are gone... You can alternatively run the following two lines:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /desktop-icons/style -s 1
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /desktop-icons/style -s 2

I'm not really sure of the reason, this was just something I observed. Good luck!

I've been looking for a solution for this same issue... Have not found anything yet.

I did open a question, and a bug on this issue:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1082726

It would be good if folks could confirm the existence of this bug on launchpad, so it'll get some attention!

EDIT: It appears this was already documented as a bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1072137

An updated version of xfdesktop4 is available on the Quantal proposed repository that fixes the issue.
