I'm not sure where that functionality went, but if the drive is 
listed properly in /etc/fstab, you should be able to open up 
"Computer," right-click the drive, and click "Mount Volume."
Alternatively you can go to Gnome menu -> System Tools -> 
Disk Management and mount/unmount stuff that way. It seems like
more work than the way you're describing, but I was overjoyed
to find out I didn't have to open a console and do a mount every
time.
