[Vectorlinux-devel] vl-hot mount base

[Jose J. R. <jo...@gm...>]

It was recently suggested to change the vl-hot mount base from
/mnt/vl-hot/ to /media/. I'm not completely for nor against this
change, as /media/ IMO is intended for drives where the mechanics is
separate from the media an the media can be extracted and changed.
Read floppy, zip, jazz drives, etc. Also, the traditional mount base,
/mnt/ could be regarded as for use from fstab.  Anyway, since I'm of 2
minds on this, I'd like your feedback on this point, or suggestions as
to any other suitable mount base, if any.

For your info, vl-hot creates within the mount base a directory for
the drive (sda/, sdb/, etc), inside which, it creates the mount points
for the partitions (vol1/, vol2/, etc).

joe,

My only opinion is that I lik eto have all my mount points in /mnt so i don=
t
have to go looking all over for them, but this is just what I am used to.
I have googled around kde and the rest of the net and cant find anything
that would conflict with vl-hot being put into /media .

thanks,
Uel

Me too, though I'm not against /media per se, just not sure if it's
really going to become the standard for this or not. Also, although
vl-hot mounts cameras, flash cards and such "media", it also mounts
pendrives and hdds, which might not really fit that category.
