HAL is supposed to mount it for automatically, but sometimes has
trouble. (HAL rules are going through changes...) One thing that
sometimes helps is to give the partition a label. You can use
e2label to do this for you. (You also have an option to label it
when you create the file system.) The label will be used as the
mount point when the partition is mounted. (/media/<label>)
