I don't know where Debian or Ubuntu mount hot-pluggable drives, however, Fedora mounts them in /run/media/<user>/<disk-name>. I don't know why they changed from /media to /run/media, but they did.

Reminds me of the old DEC assembly pseudo-instructions. Such wonderful things as Execute Programmer Immediate, Halt And Catch Fire, and our favorite, Eject Disk Immediate. Given the the usual disk in those days was an RK05, which had a one-foot diameter aluminum platter spinning at 3600 RPM, it makes for one heck of a Frizbie. :-) :-) :-) Ancient humor aside, I hope this helps. --Dale -- "Have you any idea how successful censorship is on TV?
