Hi, I think it's hald daemon that mounts an external USB hard drive to /media/DISK_LABEL whenever one clicks on its icon in a file browser or the like. This works very nicely if you're at the desktop, plug in a device and want to access it for a while, then unplug it and go away with your USB drive. Permissions are left untouched in the USB tree, and /media/DISK_LABEL has root permisions. It's not practical though if the drive is always by the desktop, as backup space or normal filesystem. I have a few such devices and would like to do what hal does here, and avoid having to create a directory under /media with the label of all the drives, and worry about all the different mounting options and any other tricks hal does here. Is there a way to have any of these devices that are plugged in at boot up be mounted automatically, to avoid having to mount them manually after booting? Thanks.
