This is your desktop environment doing it for you (noticed how it mounts under /media/joe? Guess what happens if you had set up another user and "were logged in as" this other user? /media/joe or rather /media/otheruser? That's it). Of course the DE doesn't do the mount directly, but relies on pmount or something similar. Sorry I can't offer more details: I'm not "in" the intricacies of desktop environments. For me, they are too intricate and finicky, therefore I prefer to run without. I mount my media explicitly. regards - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlgxr9cACgkQBcgs9XrR2kYE9QCdHcMYikUu3syn6IzIVxWsyRuU sIMAn3ymPHEqBq/nYB+I5U3ZPTMBzkts =JGkN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
