Does that folder has anything to do with g-v-m? <div>2006/8/18, Kay Sievers <<a href="mailto:kay.sievers@vrfy.org">kay.sievers@vrfy.org</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Fri, 2006-08-18 at 10:57 -0400, Jeffrey Stedfast wrote: > On Fri, 2006-08-18 at 12:18 +0200, Soren Hansen wrote: > > On Thu, Aug 17, 2006 at 04:13:40PM -0400, David Zeuthen wrote: > > > > hi, can anyone tell me where is the code written for finding the > > > > moint point(point where the device needs to b mounted). for eg > > > > /media/usbdisk?  is it written in hald or udev . > > > No, it's a parameter passed to the Mount() method and usually comes > > > from the desktop specific mount program.
