for example the live CD is mounted as:

What about this workarround inspired by Windows world. Why to make the mount
name based on disk volume name? That is a stupid idea as volume name can be
source of trouble (spaces). Take it simple, it will even not confuse windows
users (no supprise for user):
/media/A
/media/B
/media/C
etc...

Isn't this smart? ;-)
No. It suffers from the same complete lack of information about the
device hidden behind the mount point making it REALLY annoying to find
the mount point you're looking for.

I really don't think replacing spaces with underscores constitutes a
spaces in filenames could be real suprise for programmer; it makes
design of awk and perl scripts more difficult.

I have to try to put two USB stick with the same volume name to my
Ubuntu box. What will happen? The name have to be modified in some way
to have unique mount point for every device.

I did experiemnt with two USB sticks with the same volume name. Names
are modified as expected, two mount points created, USB DISK and USB
DISK-1
# mount | grep sd[ab]
/dev/sda1 on /media/USB DISK type vfat
(rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8)
What about Ubuntu applications that cannot handle space in mount point
filename? Let's try to find something in Ubuntu 6.06.
Run from GNOME Menu this:
System/Administration/Disks
Select USB disk, switch to partitions tab
Notice Access path: /media/USB
Press browse, you get empty folder. BTW,
I disagree that you have to fix 'most Linux tools'. I do not know any
program which doesn't cope with spaces in file names (granted, in shell
the escaping is a little inconvenient). If the disk admin tool doesn't,
then the bug should be filed against it.
If you convince me that this does affect
USB DISK is not a string invented by Ubuntu, but rather the volume
name of the vfat partition on your USB stick. That said, any spaces
really should be replaced by underscores or something..

You are right, USB DISK is volume name, created by usb stick
manufacturer. I missed that. It will good idea to replace spaces with
undercore in such case.
