How to override /media as a mount point? - users - Fedora mailing-lists

2 Sep 2010


      I have a new USB drive I've set up to replace some old internal drives, 
and I'd like to have it automount it's partitions to where the internal 
drives were mounted, instead of /media/fslabel.
I have to presume it's be some sort of udev config., but I can't for the 
life of me even see anything *choosing* /media, so I can only guess that 
it's hard-coded somewhere.
lshal does shopw a mount_point field for them, but given that HAL is 
being deprecated I suspect that's a dead-end, even if it isn't read-only.
Is it possible to override, on a per FS/device basis, where devices are 
auto-mounted?
In fact, what is is that even mounts things like that nowadays (I'm on 
F12), since gnome-mount et al. seems to have gone.
For now, I've added the partitions to /etc/fstab, but of course I then 
have to manually mount the things if the drive is not present on power up.
