How to mount and umount a USB pen drive without being root?
----
that should be automatic as long as you are runlevel 5 and logged in as
a user. It should automatically mount
in /media/SOME_DEVICE_NAME_LIKE_USB_DISK
What bothers me that the behavior in fc6 is different from fc4. What I used to do was to turn off the automount of the removable storage in gnome-volume-properties and mount everything manually, using the fact that the mounting node was immediately created in /media when, say, a pendrive was plugged in. It gives me kind of confidence that everything is under my control... :)

Now I see (fc6) that despite the fact that the drive is recognized properly (/dev/sdaX is created) and it appears in nautilus under "computer" the mounting point in /media is not created anymore and no record in fstab until you mount the drive through the right_click/double_click. So there is no way to mount it from command line (or at list I dont know about any) and I have to open anutilus every time I want to mount something. It seems like now hal is not even using /etc/fstab for creating the record about the removable media... We are moving further and further away from good old linux... Does anyone know the way to rollback to the old behavior?
