Those long names are filesystem id's and volume labels. You didn't tell udisks what to call the mount point so it has picked the only thing it has available - the ID of the filesystem. fstab is a really bad tool for this, it does not apply the rules to your USB sticks, it applies them to anything that just happens to get node /dev/sdb1. Don't assume that will *always* be a portable usb stick, because it won't. Read the udisks documentation to find out how to customize naming of mount points. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
