If not I would prefer a softlink > media -> /run/media. Your email client is Evolution 3.4.2 which probably means you use gnome3 with gvfs and udisks{,2}. For the rest of us /media is still a valid place to dynamically create mountpoints.

For now I added the softlink > media -> /run/media. Well... First, automounting is a serious security hole. Nothing should be automounted unless explicitly permitted by the user. Second, adding softlinks is not a good idea IMHO because /media belongs to core/filesystem and your modifications will most likely to disappear on update. If you really don't like /run/media -- try bind-mounting it to /media in fstab. > > Regards, > Ralf > > Regards, > Ralf > > > -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
