Hello:
I confess I have no idea what udisks2 is, and the latest version of openSUSE I have is 12.1. I also use 11.2 on other machines. My goal is to be able to use my SUSE computer in the same way as I used it in the last ten years . Changes like these seems for me arbitrary and unnecessary. In 12.1 /media is a tmpfs. That means I can not create my floppy directory in it like in previous versions.
You were assumed never to create your mountpoints in /media, you should leave that directory alone. For manual mounting you were assumed to use /mnt instead.
Then I read here that in newer versions removable media is not mounted in media but some other /run/? directories. Why is that good? Who prefers to navigate to some ../../../../ directory instead of /media? And as I understand correctly the media mounted by user A can't be read by user B. On a desktop. Why? That is if I mount a CD and switch user, that user can not read the CD? Do we really want this nonsense?
Yes, that's right. On some setups, you want to keep media private; on some they need it shared. There is no easy to find switch to change that behaviour. At least, there is support for using /media by some devs, while some other devs (Cristian) want to punish us users for some unknown sins, perhaps, and decide what is best for us.
I start to think that it would be more benefit for linux if those developers of todays did not do programing.
