I have to say... that the hotplugging of usb-storage devices is
working pretty damn well on my rawhide box.  So well I bought a couple
of usb enclosures to use as external storage for things like digital
pictures. The /media/Volume_Label/  mountpoint magic makes its much
easier to do anything scripted.. and it just works.

Most of my pet peeves are second order issues like multiuser situations
where non-console owners can hold the hotplug devices open
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=136602

Or application level issues like gthumb not working the same way with
mounted usb-storage the same as the ptp cameras. The dcim directory
sensing for the gthumb wrapper works, but once gthumb is open.. you
just can't interact with the mounted cf card as you would with the ptp
camera it came from.  I'd love to just be able to slap in a cf card in
the reader automount it, have gthumb start up and then be able to hit
one button and import all the files from the dcim directory tree on
the cf card to my existing digital picture catalog on the harddrive.
Instead gthumb treats the cf card as just another harddrive catalog
space.

Or in the case of music, rhythmbox forgetting about a music library
and associated playlists that is on a removal disk if the disk is not
present when rhythmbox starts up again.


But the underlying hotplug mounting with volume-label as mountpoint is
working like a charm.  How close are we to seeing user configurable
mount action policy for unique mounts?  I'd love to be able to have an
external harddrive full of music and be able to configure gnome to
mount the drive and launch rhythmbox when the drive was connected all
triggered by the volume name.
