If you label the partitions, they will be mounted on /media/name. If
this is not what you want, you can write HAL rules to have them
mounted elsewhere. If you don't want to add labels, you can use the
UUID value in the HAL rules.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. They are labeled. They are only
automatically mounted on /media/name if I am logged into gnome on the
console at the time that the drives are plugged in.
Is the behavior I am seeing the expected behavior, or is it indicative
of some unknown problem?
It was difficult to begin troubleshooting without even a guess as to
what mechanism might be mounting them automatically. I'll go under the
theory it was HAL and see what I can determine about its behavior
