Hello,

OpenSUSE Leap with KDE mounts removable media into unique paths like /run/mesia/user/label.

This is good when one wants to use a GUI, but not great for accesing a CD/DVD or USB flash drive using a command line.

Is there a way to also mount them, as aliases, into fixed mount points, such as /media/dvd or /media/flash?

The only way known to me is to add these devices to /etc/fstab (be sure to have noauto,nofail then).

user,noauto,nofail

You will need to authenticate mount as root (or change polkit configuration). You could also consider using autofs on these devices.

There is another method, to mount them automatically on /media/label, which I know works on 13.1 Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 17:23:25 -0400 From: Greg Freemyer <> Cc: Opensuse Mailinglist Subject: Re: [opensuse] opensuse12.3 - cannot make ext drive available to all users ... 2) Create: /etc/udev/rules.d/99-correct-media-mount-point.rules With rule (contents): ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto",ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1" that's a one liner and the file name can be anything that starts with 99. 3) restart udisks (there is a command I don't remember, or you can just reboot) Details for this are in a bugzilla, but I don't have the bnc# handy. ----- I found that the bugzilla was 809837 The caveat is that sometimes the mountpoint is not cleared, because /media is no longer a /tmpfs, but a "real" directory you create manually. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
