Package: kdebase-kio-plugins Version: 4:3.5.4-2 Severity: normal I'm really not sure if this bugreport should go to hal instead of kdebase-kio-plugins.
After last update of hal, mounting a device ignores KDE mount point setting. This setting can be changed making right click on a device icon -> Properties -> Mounting -> Mountpoint. In the previous version of hal (just the one that caused problems with mounting in kde because the policy setting), this worked ok. Now the behaviour is mount the device under /media using the name of the volume (in case of DVDs) or the name of the device (in case of USB disks or memory cards). This makes impossible to share the media via samba just because each DVD has a different volume name or have persistent names for devices who have the same name to the system (they got named "usbdisk", "usbdisk-1", "usbdisk-2" depending on the order of connection). I have no entries for these devices in fstab. If I make entries for these devies based on /dev/disk/by-id/* names then mounting via KDE just fails with no error message, but mounting from the command line works. Any help will be very appreciated.
