Slightly tangential, but since somebody's actively fixing things in this department, could you take a look at a related bug I raised a few weeks ago?
On openSUSE 12.2, following some online update a while back (I think related to udisks but I may be wrong), a USB hard drive I have listed in the fstab no longer gets mounted at the location I specified and instead finds itself at /run/media/[username]/[device name].
I raised the issue on the forums
(https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/483...) and according to a couple of folk there this is a bug / regression that should be raised as such, since what is specified in the fstab should never be overridden by desktop settings. I opened a bug report last month but so far no response at all, and I've not seen any fix come through in the updates (haven't checked for a few days). Here's the bugzilla: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809805
This bug occurs on a 12.2 machine running xfce with the device set to automount. On my laptop with 12.3 and KDE, I have the same device in my fstab but set to noauto, and when I plug it in I can access it at the location specified in fstab. Whether that's a fix in 12.3 or a difference in KDE's handling I'm not sure.
Cheers, Peter
See Patrick's response to your question.Whi
I have an external USB HDD and I just tried that - and it mounts in /media, but I don't have it in fstab.
So, you choices are:
remove the HDD from fstab and do the "fix"; or
do what Patrick suggests by using YaST to give it a different mount point.

You're assuming the back port of a udisks2 feature was backported to 12.2.
No assuming being done because this problem does not exist in 12.2 and only appeared in 12.3.
And just to make sure, I just attached an USB memory stick AND an external HDD and both were mounted in /media.
But your response did make me aware of what his original post was all about which is that he is talking about 12.2 where he has the USB showing in fstab. From *my* perspective the only reason why you would you would have a USB device listed in fstab is if it is always switched ON when the computer is booted. If he connects the USB when he really needs it then removing it from fstab would make it mount in /media which is what always happens in 12.2 (as I just proved).
Basil, AIUI, the issue with /run/media/<user>/ as a mount point is caused by udisk2. In openSUSE 12.2, Gnome uses udisk2 and kde uses udisk1. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
