Beginning with 10.0, whenever I powered up a usb connected hard drive it would automatically get mounted to /media/usbdisk. As far as I know, this directory was created by the 10.0 installation, as I'm sure I didn't create it and don't remember seeing it under /media before 10.0. It was not defined in /etc/fstab, so I suspect that HAL might have been doing this mount under the covers. Anyway, with 10.1, this no longer happens, and the disk automounts to /media/sda5, which is an fstab entry. I stumbled upon this because I was creating a YaST backup and my backup profile was pointing to /media/usbdisk. When I ran the backup, it created the file under the /media/usbdisk directory, but that was not on the USB hard-drive. In other words, it just treated it as a regular directory on my main hard drive. No big deal, I'll just change my YaST backup profile to point to sda5 for future backups, but I just thought it was strange that this happened. Maybe the usbdisk mounting was actually just a hal glitch all along and it got corrected in 10.1? Greg Wallace
