It's perfectly possible. I took few minutes yesterday afternoon to toss together a little perl script to mount my various USB drives correctly: * My iriver matches "umass\d.+ iRiver iRiver" and mounts on /iriver * My lexar jumpdrive matches "umass\d.+ LEXAR JUMPDRIVE" and mounts on /auto/jumpdrive * My FireLite external 80GB matches "umass\d.+ FireLite" and mounts on /auto/firelite * anything else is ignored. It's a little rough right now, and to add new devices and mountpoints you need to edit the script. I may tidy it up in the future to use a config file, but right now it works for me. To other writing such a script: use the device class and name passed to you by hotplugd, and fetch other bits of information from dmesg and usbdevs. -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
