There are very good reasons for this change (mainly security),

I think it had very little to do with security, unless you count device type privacy information from folder names. I use /media/usb? and they are accessible only by root and whichever user mounted it, logically findable by order of mount. I believe the reason was so that it was in a filesystem meant for dynamic files (this feature is really irritating for some default labels but I guess a little prettier otherwise and for multi-seat). I have udisks 1 and 2 installed but use neither. I have permanent folders in /media/. Will /media/ changes by pacman simply fail and everything continue happily or will I simply have to recreate or make them immutable? -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
