Hi Carlos y feliz año a ti y a todos. No. I don't mount it at the command line. It always appears under /media/disk when I plug it in so it seems that I have no choice as to where it is mounted. I tried under yast to mount it as a name rather than a device but that didn't work. It doesn't really matter as I always seems to work by just pulling the cable. I just wantead an equivalent of what KDE does in it' 'remove safely' option just to make sure.
