I have an iPod mini, and all is very good, and I have my own shell scripts
to mount and unmount it, in the right place, when I want it and with the right options.
I would like to tell SuSE 9.2 not to mount my iPod (and put it in /media/ieee1934xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx), but to continue to automount other things...
how do I register this exception?

Not for sure about your setup but one possiablity is edit /etc/fstab and change the line that mounts the ipod from someting auto to noauto
Example: cut of my /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 auto umask=000,users,noauto,owner,rw,sync,dirsync 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 auto umask=000,users,noauto,owner,rw,sync,dirsync 0 0

Do you have a service called kudzu running? Im not famailar with SUSE the way it works with USB. I know it can be more automatic for non linux users. Need a SUSE user here.
One more question where does it mount now when plugged in. Does it mount to the same point listed in fstab?
If you want it some where else edit fstab and see what happens. I wonder if SUSE uses udev. What is your kernel version?
from KSysGuard, no kudzu running.
We're talking about Firewire, right? not usb :S
It doesn't mount to the place in fstab, it mounts to /media/ieee1394-000a270002c00dcc-0-0p2/
This must be handled by something else!

Okay I am no expert in udev but under /etc/udev/rules.d I belive is a conf file that might contain the moint point you see. If you have /etc/udev check other files there.
Yes I am aware of it being iee1394 / firewire and the way ieee1394 storage devices work with linux is it uses scsi as its interface. Just as USB does as well. It can be confusing to the beginner. There is also a tool out there that can scan the 1394 bus. Similiar to usbview It is called gscanbus at http://gscanbus.berlios.de/

I could be over thinking here. It could be autofs. There is a config file under /etc/auto.master . See whats in it.
If it is there could you post the contents of the file for my reference.
here is:
--------/etc/auto.master-----------
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.1 2001/04/17 11:43:02 arvin Exp arvin $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# Also see variable AUTOFS_OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/autofs
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
#/misc /etc/auto.misc
Doesn't look used.
Thanks!!! (Merry XMas by the way)
