how to mdefine where an optical mounts
I have 2 optical drives
but these auto mount under /media/**Name of the DVD disc **
and my real difficulty is many of the dvd disc I have were made with a dvd appliance so they ALL have the same name DVD Video Recording
this results in : if i put in 1 , a second will not mount.. because ( i figure ) they both ahve the same name
My Goal is to do something with ...fstab??
that will ensure that optical 1
always mounts as something like
optical 1 : sr0 always mounts as
/media/01/**Name of disc volume**
optical 2 : sr1 always mounts as
/media/02/**Name of disc volume**
regarding the **Name of disc volume**
this means a dvd disc named dog placed in the second dvd drive mounts as
/media/02/dog
This way i will always know the path to the vobs
as in /media/02/dog/VIDEO_TS/VTS*.VOB
dev ls shows
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 22 11:07 cdrom -> sr1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 22 11:07 dvd -> sr1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 22 11:07 scd1 -> sr1
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 1 Jul 22 11:07 sr1
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 180 Jul 22 11:05 shm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 22 10:55 cdrom1 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 22 10:55 cdrw1 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 22 10:55 dvd1 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 22 10:55 dvdrw1 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 22 10:55 scd0 -> sr0
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jul 22 10:55 sr0

so I was thinking that i would do a
mkdir /media/01
mkdir /media/02
chmod both those to 777
MY Question is HOW to I make it such that
dvd drive 1 sr0 mounts under /media/01/
as /media/01/**Name of the dvd volume**
&
dvd drive 2 sr1 mounts under /media/02/
as /media/02/**Name of the dvd volume**
this last sticking point is all i have to solve
so can i put something in the fstab -- and what would that be
or can i do an explicit mount ( run a script )
and i am thinking id a given dvd still auto mounts
under /media/**Name of the dvd volume**
then that is no harm
my system OpenSuse 11.4 32bit 2 optical drives

Does your system use hal/udev? Mine (Fedora) does, and I use custom udev rules to do this sort of thing. It requires no entries in /etc/fstab. The udev daemon listens for things to happen and when something does (usb device inserted, cd inserted, etc.) then it looks at its rules, and executes them, and if anything in any rule matches the device (which is totally customizable by you), that is done, instead of the default system action.
I used this website to help me write rules.
