I'm trying to get USB sticks up...just one problem: every time I plug in my USB stick, it mounts somewhere else. I set
/dev/sdb1 /media/usb vfat default 0 0in my fstab, but the next time I plugged it in, it registered at sdc! Now, I'm no expert, and I know we're supposed to do things on our own, but this isn't working. what's the accurate fstab setting for this?
Also, when I get it right (like if I changed the above code to sdc1), and select "open in new window" in the KDE dialogue, I get an error message "Only HAL can do this." UPDATE: The same happens when I insert another medium, such as a CD.
And I've been over the HAL wiki page as well as the forum post it leads to. The post didn't really help me because the poster once had the feature working fine.

I believe that if you are using HAL, you should not make an entry for it in fstab. Just plug it in and let it be auto-detected and then verify with your DE's filesystem browser.

I have a newfound appreciation for what HAL does. Just commented out my optical drives from fstab, added hal to my Daemons, and it's working great!

One more question. I get an error when ejecting my iPod, be it from Amarok or from the Desktop. It successfully unmounts, but fails to eject. For those familiar with iPods, the screen persists with the "Do not disconnect message" and the flashing circle. Has anyone else run into this, and if so, where can I find a fix?

I suppose using the eject command would do the trick, but I'm not sure if there is an automatic method. Does Amarok allow you to set what command/method is used to unmount the iPod? I don't use Amarok so I'm not sure.
