    I have a question about mounting USB storage devices. I have an
    Olympus digital camera, which I've been using happily for a while. I
    use usbmgr to load the usb-storage and scsi modules on demand, and a
    line in /etc/fstab allows me to mount it on /camera from /dev/sda1.

    The problem is that I've just acquired a USB keychain memory drive. If
    that's the first device I plug in, it becomes sda1. I would prefer it
    each device was always mounted in the same place - /camera for the
    camera and /keychain for the keychain, for example. Is there any way
    of doing this with usbmgr or something else like hotplug?

    I don't mind if the scripts auto-mount the devices, as long as Mere
    Mortal Users can umount them.
