From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Since installing this version (update of this week), the mount point for my USB disk is no longer /mount/usbdisk, but /mount/Ap. The "Ap" seems to be a random string (some variable uninitialized?) When I look with mtools, the FAT16 filesystem on the USB disk has no volume label, so it cannot come from that. When downgrading to hal-0.4.2-1, the problem disappears. I'll mark this bug as Normal, but since it may involve an uninitialized variable, this may have security consequences. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.4.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to hal-0.4.5-1 2. Insert USB stick Actual Results: USB stick shows up as /media/Ap ("Ap" also shown as text on GNOME icon) Expected Results: USB stick should be mounted on /media/usbdisk (because it doesn't have a volume label). Additional info: See attached output from 'hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes'.

Should read /media/usbdisk and /media/Ap, of course.
This should be fixed in hal-0.4.6 which will be in Rawhide and FC3 updates soon. Closing this bug.
