This is a Royal PITA! We need to have, preferably as an easy to
configure option, a consistent, named, filesystem location on which a
particular device will mount, identified by the media type ("cdrom") or
some other predictable name. I have a photo cataloging program I wrote
which expects to find all photo CDs, which have different names
reflecting dates and sequence, mounted at a location which can be
specified in its config file. There are all kinds of applications which
expect this!
