You have an automount program running, probably hald. When it detects a new device has been plugged in, it automatically creates a directory for the device and mounts it. In fact, the effects of hald were visible in the log you posted. Part of the reason it was so long is because hald constantly probes removable devices, around one per second, to see when they get unplugged. Every one of those probes generated a bunch of lines in the log. > # /etc/fstab: static file system information. > # > # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> > proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 > /dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 > /dev/hdb4 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 > /dev/hdb3 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2 > /dev/hdb2 none swap sw 0 0 > /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 > /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 > /dev/hda1 /mnt ntfs nls=utf8,user,uid=1000 0 0 > > > And upon connecting the camera, konqueror consistently opens a new window > trying to show /sda1, with an error msg. That's not surprising, since you have no /sda1. There must be a way to reconfigure konqueror, but I don't know how. > So it turns out that it does work, connecting, but I get very confused on > what > gets mounted where, and why.

You can read the "man" pages for hald, and there are web sites with more information about it.
