...USB (a Corsair stick) I cannot see it anywhere when I start mc - the stick does not show up in /media nor anywhere else I looked. So where is it hiding?!
should be in /var/run/media/<username>
"Should"? Why? That's just as bad or maybe worse than \Documents and Settings\blah. Why not just /media/<DEVLABEL> as before?
Because if two users attempt to mount two devices with the same devlabel, then...*bang*.
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). /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. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
