issue with automount under KDE

When my system boots, external HDDs connected are shown in Dolphin. If I click on any of them, they get mounted under /media/HDD, where HDD is the name of my external HDD. So far so good.

When I shutdown my computer and I boot it again, HDDs are shown as always on Dolphin without being mounted. If I click on them, they get mounted under /media, but in this case they are mounted under /media/HDD1, because /media has an empty folder called "/media/HDD" from the last time HDD was mounted.
During the shutdowns and boots, the number of these folders increase if I mount them, i.e.:
· /media/HDD from a clean boot
· /media/HDD and /media/HDD1 from a second boot,
· and so on.

My hardware preferences from KDE are:
- Automatic mounting is enabled
- Mount automatically only external drives is enabled
- Mount automatically only external drives when they are inserted is enabled

How can I unmount external drives before my system shutdowns and delete folders where external HDD or pendrives have been mounted?
Should I write a script to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Re: issue with automount under KDE

You could put them in your fstab instead (with "nofail" in the options).
