I've been through this a couple of times and am beginning to think that
the Gnome Disk Mounter applet is just plain confused.
Apparently the applet creates icons with names based on entries
in /etc/fstab, but when a device is mounted, as per instructions
in /etc/fstab, it creates an icon based on the Vendor and Model ATTRS in
the sysfs tree and ignores the entry in /etc/fstab. But if the fstab
entry is removed, the applet says "Cannot mount volume" and quits on the
mount.
So I end up having 2 icons on my "Computer" for every USB device I want
to mount - one on which nothing gets mounted, and one which gets
dynamically created using a name I don't want, and which holds the mount
as spec'd in /etc/fstab.
I've tried tinkering with udev ATTR{key} assignment but this is largely
undocumented and I can't make it work, and can't find any other way deal
with this issue. Is there some documentation on this facility and on
the applet somewhere, or is it just mainly broken, as I suspect?
