I don't know if anything is wrong, I don't think I want the computer to auto-mount CD's? Auto-mount seems like a feature for a consumer device like a CD/DVD player, I usually have data, text, etc. on mine. Maybe I'm missing something?
The default behavior for Fedora 5 includes automounting removable media. I don't like the "mount at {volume.name}" feature (for optical media, anyway), so I wrote a HAL rule to override the volume name with a fixed string -- "cdrecorder" in my case. Now, all optical media mount at /media/cdrecorder instead of /media/{volume.name}. I've made no modifications to /etc/fstab to obtain this behavior. As a matter of fact, the mere presence of certain lines related to /media/cdrecorder in /etc/fstab causes the mount not to appear in /media (although it still appears on the desktop). I filed a bug, but haven't received any response.
