Thus your changes to udev wouldn't have the desired effect. I ran into something similar with k3b. Hal used to work fine, using its defaults only if there was no fstab entry for that device, using the fstab entry if there was. Now hal screws things up by insisting on doing things /its/ way, despite a perfectly valid system config, and k3b looks in the system configured spot while hal's putting it somewhere else. There's an open bug on k3b, but I really think it should be on hal since hal's what's breaking a previously working config by insisting on doing things its own way instead of following the otherwise perfectly fine system config. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
