A system capable of determining to put a device in /var/run/media/<username> is surely capable of appending [2,3,*] or <username> or bus## if and when another device with an identical label is being mounted to a different USB bus ID. /var/run/ is not a place where mere mortal users should be looking for anything, much less files on a stick just plugged. If <username> is going to be part of the mountpoint name, why not /home/<username>/media/<label>?
Please don't pullute user's homes with mount points or symlinks (or any other non-dotfiles).
Why not? From KDE 4.10.5 a new $HOME already has: Desktop Documents Downloads Music Pictures Public Templates Videos none of which *I* created.
/media was good IMO.
About /var/run/media/<username> ... this is obviously invented by people who only use very special desktop mangers to access their files ... Personally I find this console-kit (or however it's called nowadays) magic useless anyway. It's annoying that it only mounts something while I have the right "login session" (whatever this is) active and if I have whatever qdisks client running. And what about multi-seat? I just need automount world (or group) read/writeable ... of course user-independent mount path. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
