Anything new with this? I'm experiencing the same frustrating problem when trying to mount my camera.
The simplest solution to this is to leave the mount tool to do it's thing and let it create the folder. Then do: ln -s /media/xxx /media/usb-storage-odd-NIKON-NIKONDSCD70\:0\:0\:0p1/ Replacing xxx with whatever you want to call it. I always found those sda1 style names confusing when I had multiple devices attached. This way you could do (for example) cd /media/key or cd /media/camera and it makes a lot more sense.
I'm still having the issue with accessing the data in the drive that gets created automatically by SUSE. The automounting (in theory) looks good, but when I click on the drive or attempt to access the created mountpoint via the shell, it just hangs. I had it work for me one time out of the 10 or so times I've tried it since I installed 9.1.
The one time I saw strange behaviour was a key that was fine under windows, but when you looked at it with linux, it had a really stuffed up partition table. You could try repartitioning the device with fdisk, and creating a new partiton. Along the lines of (as root): fdisk -l /dev/sda or whatever the correct device is umount /dev/sdaX repeat for any partitions fdisk /dev/sda and create a new primary mkfs.msdos /dev/sda1 Not sure if unplugging and replugging will do the trick, or if you'll have to give subfs a nudge, or easiest, reboot. -- Steve Boddy
