hello,
when I connect a usb device to my computer it will be recognized and mounted automatically to a directory in " /media" . but i want it to be mounted somewhere else. how can I change the default mounting point.
actually I have changed fstab so in booting the connected devices get mounted to the place i like but if i connect a device when the system is up it get mounted inside " /media".
(suse 9.2)
this is my fstab:

Quote:

/dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0

i have added the last 6 lines myself.

You could change the definition of MPDIR in /etc/hotplug/hotplug.subfs.functions

However, /media is the standard location now, so you might want to leave it as it is.

Otherwise, you could blacklist the usb device and mount them as you would a regular vfat drive.
