Mine used to do that and I think it was ivman. I noticed it doesn't do that any more though. I don't have ivman installed so that may explain that. I seem to recall a clash with the new KDE and ivman or something.

A long time ago I created relevant entries in my fstab, because back
then automounting was quite involved and a tad unstable.  I have still
some entries like:

# Flash Card
/dev/sda    /mnt/sda    auto,vfat,msdos noauto,user,noatime     0 0
/dev/sda1    /mnt/sda1    auto,vfat,msdos noauto,user,noatime     0 0
to be able to mount USB pen drives manually.  However, because of these
fstab entries when I automount them using a GUI (Konqueror), they are
mounted under /mnt/sda not under /media/disk.


Remove the entries from /etc/fstab, then KDE will automount them
under /media/<volume name>. To mount manually from a terminal or console,
use "pmount /dev/sda1", you don't need to be root to do this, to have the
device mounted in the same place as with KDE.

Isn't there another way that mounts automatically? Mine used to do that and I think it was ivman. I noticed it doesn't do that any more though. I don't have ivman installed so that may explain that. I seem to recall a clash with the new KDE and ivman or something.
