I have things set up with hal such that my work usb drive gets mounted at
work-usb, my ipod at "/media/ipod" , my home usb with 4 partitions at
"/media/home-1" trhough "home-4" etc. I cannot edit /etc/fstab for all these
devices, since in fstab, one has to specify where it has to be mounted, and
not all of them are mounted at /media/work-usb. So that is why I cannot use
/etc/fstab :)
