Additionally it would be good to mount the device under
/media/<volume-label> as is typical for the udev style auto mounter and
add symlinks to /media/sdX[n] and also possibly /media/<disk-by-id>
where:
<volume-label> is the label the filesystem header - of it it is missing
the UUID, and if that is not set then a short path name such as the usb
port id
<sdX[n]> is the transient device id as per /dev/sdX[n]
<disk-by-id> is the fully exposed path to the device as per
/dev/disk/by-id
thanks,
Daniel.
