Thanks Patrick. I know ivman from messing around with Gentoo, but I would have thought that SUSE already has something like it, since ivman is not included (or at least installed).

What happens when stuff gets auto mounted in KDE? Is it internal KDE code at work, or does KDE call scripts that I can call too?
I remember earlier versions of SUSE would make a /media/usb-id-xxxxx-whatever (id of the device) mountpoint, without KDE's help (I have a number of text-only servers). How does that work?
I believe that is handled by udevd, 'man udev'.
It would be super if I can get any USB/FireWire device to mount to a mountpoint named after the volume name, without having to set up a separate rule and fstab entry for each one.
Do-able in 10.1, but you will have to research the archives. It has been discussed here but I do not have the pertinent posts at hand.
