Hello Dale,
If you're using the KDE automounter, you don't need any fstab entries
for removable devices.
That's what I thought to. I do however use it for a console session and
I use ivman to mount. I think that is why I had to put that in there.
KDE works with it there as well though so I guess it doesn't hurt
anything.
You can use pmount to mount a device from a terminal, which is what KDE
uses anyway. The main difference that an fstab entry makes is that it can
change the mount point that would otherwise be used.
I also noticed that KDE can read my Canon camera like it is a drive now
though. Not sure how that happened. I'm not complaining though.
KDE has been able to do that for a long time. It's not actually mounting
it as a drive, because Canon cameras don't use usb-storage, but the
camera:/ ioslave allows you to use it as if it was, via libgphoto2.
