"
By default, Nautilus opens automatically e.g. 3 new windows when an external HDD with 3 partitions is plugged in. It would be way better to use the tab functionality here in order to save space in the gnome panel.

In most cases you only want to open one of your partitions for copying files etc., that means that you would have to close the other ones which is not really a user friendly situation."

Thanks,
