Thanks for the info. I was asking this more or less out of curiosity,
and - see my earlier reply - I have done some tests myself.

Surely, doing what I want can be done: automatically mounting USB sticks
always to the same mount point. But I just don't want to spend much time
over the documentation of udev or whatever. Thought there is a simple
solution.

Anyway, I have convinced the user of the advantages of labeling his USB
drives, and he is buying into that. Perhaps I will provide him with
documentation on how to do the labeling. At the moment, I can do it for
him.
