openSUSE 12.3 external drive mounting 'problem'


As of openSUSE 12.3, the default place for external drives (thumbdrives, external hard drives, etc.), to mount is "/var/run/media". It will be under your user name, then the volume label, such as "/var/run/media/user/THUMBDRIVE", or "/var/run/media/user/3842-3822".

Annoying, when previous versions went by default under /media. Aside from the obvious methods of creating symlinks, you can change this by doing:
Code:
echo 'ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto",ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/99-correct-media-mount-point.rules
...and rebooting, or just run "udevadm control --reload". Apparently, folks complained about this, and it was modified upstream, and that rule changes things back to the old behavior.
