I expect reading the docs at freedesktop.org when it comes up again. Meanwhile a few things to know and try The change from /mnt to /media for usb,floppy and cdrom drives is part of the FHS 2.3 specification http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#MEDIAMOUNTPOINT Udev seems to be following rules as specified in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules specifically this line "BUS="usb", KERNEL="lp[0-9]*", NAME="usb/%k" where %k is unique identifier used for persistent naming. HAL uses /usr/share/hal/fdi/90defaultpolicy/storage-policy.fdi which can be copied over to /usr/share/hal/fdi/95userpolicy and the key "storage.policy.default.mount_root" changed from /media to /mnt if required. Disclaimer:there might be much better ways to do this and I am typing all this on blind guesses and dont have a usb disk to test this. backup files before changing stuff and dont blame me if everything breaks but I welcome any credit :-) -- Regards, Rahul Sundaram
