I have a removable USB drive on my system. When KDE starts an icon appears on the desktop that allows the drive to be mounted in the /media directory; as a side effect the directory /media/usb-disk/ is created on which to mount the drive. This is done by right clicking the icon and clicking on the desired action in the popup menu. There must be some way to have a shell script perform the same operation that clicking on the icon/popup line mount makes happen. What is it? If I create the directory /media/usb-disk and then "$ mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb-disk", everything works fine till I unmount the disk, as can be done using the icon; but then an attempt to remount the drive by clicking on the "Open" line in the popup fails with the message: The mount point '/media/usb-disk' is already occupied which is, of course, not correct. I think I've filed a bug on this, but I have so many bugs outstanding that I'm not sure. Thanks - jon
