udev fixing mount point

udev fixing mount point

Hello

I write to you because I don't find any solution or any manuals.

I would like to fix the mount point of several usb devices. This is a classic 
queries, many people around the world using Linux have the same aim.

Presently, I have only udev and udisks on that part of the process. Hal isn't 
running anymore, but automounting still works.

I have read many udev rules over the internet, and I have writen at least two 
that work...
But after working, unmounting in Kde isn't working anymore, whereas the basic 
settings (plugging usb, let kde/udev/system/whatever mount, work on doc, then 
unmount with the appropriate button in kde...) work good, but the mount point 
is ugly and unremindable.

The only thing I want is replace the mount point (aka '/media/6566-3267') by 
the one I want ( '/media/NeoParker' or '/media/htc' for an other one).

So, is there a rule to put like :

ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="6566-3267", ENV{MOUNTPOINT}="NeoParker"       ?

And it's all, all the rest of the process get its life (creating mount point, 
mount, ... , unmount, rmdir of the mountpoint) and I haven't any thing to say 
on it.

The fact is that just a simple rule like the one I have just said would be so 
easy for every user ... But I don't find any, so, I ask you.

Sorry if I disturb you.

Thank you for your help.

If there's an /etc/fstab entry for your device, udisks will use that
instead of creating a directory itself (udisks simply calls mount(8)
as the user). You probably want to use one of the 'user' or 'users'
option to allow the unprivileged desktop session to mount the device,
otherwise it won't work. For example

 /dev/disk/by-uuid/6566-3267  /media/NeoParker  auto  defaults,users  0 0

should work (you of course need to mkdir that directory yourself).

So, this means each media to be plugged regulary should have its mountpoint 
setup before...
And the others are automatic.
Ok...
Thank you !
