Don't be silly. You can still use /etc/fstab and/or mount(1). Even
with the new /disk/disk/by-label etc. symlinks you can construct a

Nonetheless, what was wrong with the old behaviour (dropping a directory
in /media for each plugged in device)? I do not even particulary care about
the entries in /etc/fstab, as long as "mount /media/usbdisk" does what it
is supposed to do.
The thing is... we don't know a priori what mount point (and mount
options) is to be used. With gnome-mount, this decision now comes from
the desktop session. Right now the logic is hard wired into the
gnome-mount sources itself but we're working on fixing this to read it
from gconf; see
http://freedesktop.org/~david/gnome-mount-properties-0.01.png
for some work in progress.
Can I restore the old behaviour somehow?
Not really, no. But nothing prevents you from write an fstab-sync like
program yourself and submitting it to Fedora Extras.

Unfortunately, the arguments are piling on for re-evaluating our
distro choice here. Another thread in this group suggested that
the poster get one of the handy linux reference books to solve
some mounting problems. I bet they say "mount" and "fstab".
(Has anyone checked wheter posix mandates "mount" for mounting?)
