fc5t3 usb disk or disk-1?

[Skunk Worx]

My external usb hard drive is showing up on /media/disk-1 rather than 
/media/disk (as it used to).

# mount | grep disk
/dev/sda1 on /media/disk-1 type ext2 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Does this seem unusual? It seems like this recently changed.

This happens to media that you unmount and remount
again.  If you unmount again and remount the names
will change to /media/disk-2, /media/disk-3,
/media/disk-4/, ..., etc.  This has been occurring in
FC5T2 also.

If you are seeing that then there is a problem (unless you are
mounting via 'gnome-mount' but unmounting by other means).
'gnome-mount' lacks smarts to reuse an existing mount point even if
there is nothing currently mounted on it.  Such mount point is
supposed to disappear when you are doing "Unmount volume" from a
corresponding menu.  If that failed then you are filling up /media/
with all this "left behind" useless stuff like you describe above.

If you are indeed seeing such failures, and not something else
is at work in your case, then you should report that in bugzilla.

Of course if you have a number of things mounted at the same, which
would otherwise mount as /media/disk, then you will get
/media/disk-1, /media/disk-2, ... quite legitimately with what is
what beeing a lack of a draw.

One of related troubles is that "leftovers" in /media/ are owned by
root even if you got such failures from a non-root account.  I fully
expect to see machines with pretty strange looking /media/ when this
will show up "in the field".

This is on a fresh boot. It used to come up as /media/disk, now as 
/media/disk-1. There is nothing on /media/disk, and no mount/remount 
pairs are being performed...

This is not a question if there is something on /media/disk but
simply if it exists or not.  If it is there then it will be NOT
used.

Thanks...I must have created /media/disk to match my scripts, after 
experiencing the cascading case for some other reason. Working fine now.
