Hi

When I plug my external HDD (Western Digial Passport)[1], it is mounted as:
ls /media/629a69fb-898e-4965-ba06-0294d7e24c94/
instead of /media/disk.

It is mounted as /dev/sdb1[2], so if I umount /media/62... and:
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk,
it works

Why is mounting with such strange name? How to make it mount as
/media/disk?

It has a uuid on the partition.  You can remove the uuid via

	tune2fs -U clear /dev/sdb1

and it should mount as /media/disk next time.  I suggest you give it a
label such as

	e2label /dev/sdb1 somedescriptivelabel

and next time it should mount as /media/somedescriptivelabel.  Keeps
things a bit more clear.  My ISO files are on a USB drive, so I have
the filesystem labeled as "CD-DVD-Images":

[root@prophead ~]# e2label /dev/sdc1
CD-DVD-Images
[root@prophead ~] mount
...
/dev/sdc1 on /media/CD-DVD-Images type ext3
				(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
...
