that is already configured that way, the problem arise when there is an 
abnormal disconnection and the mount point is not deleted.
resulting in the need to create a new mount point next time.
for example:
inserting usb device YB-PORTABLE and disconnecting abnormally (e.g. system 
crash)
the mount point /media/YB-PORTABLE remain.
reconnecting usb device a new mount point will be created /media/YB-PORTABLE-1
this is not good since all links point to /media/YB-PORTABLE/

I hope that is more clear now,

Thanks again,
YB.
