Reading the man page, it seams like /media automatically part of the mount point. At least on my system, as SD card called MUSIC that gets mounted on /media/MUSIC unmounts with "gnome-umount -p MUSIC", but doesn't with "gnome-umount -p /media/MUSIC". I have to see what happens when I am not logged into the GUI, but after unmounting it with gnome-umount, I can mount it again with "gnome-mount -p MUSIC". (MUSIC is how the SD card I am using for testing is labeled.) Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
