changing mount directory under Gnome-volume-manager?

hi, I'm using gnome-volume-manager, hald, udev etc to automatically mount my removeable drives. Everything works a dream, but I would like to change the mount directory of my IPOD, which always mounts as /media/MATT_S_IPOD (the name of the ipod appears to be Matt's Ipod, and as a side-issue, if anyone knows how to change that I would appreciate it).

I have tried altering /etc/fstab, but it just realters it to its original state:

Code: Select all

/dev/sda2               /media/MATT_S_IPOD      vfat    exec,user,noauto,managed 0 0

Can anyone help me out here? Is there a configuration file for this which I am missing? Is the only method to change the name of the device?

Matt

I was just going to try and explain how you will have to create your own .fdi (Device Information File) for HAL when I came across this blog:

Someone has already done it for you
