Ubuntu Automount by Label

GeorgeM is close, but not close enough.

On Ubuntu, gnome-mount is reponsible for mounting media and also for maintaining the needed configuration. The man page of gnome-mount should tell you much more and with a little trial and error you should be able to achieve what you want.

After I played with this for a little while, I found the following:

1. It seems you can not specifiy a mount point outside of /media
2. You can set the mount points name by hal udi

The following command will change the settings used to mount a USB drive on my system:

gnome-mount --write-settings \
            --hal-udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_00AD_15D0 
            --mount-point p

When inserted, the USB drive will be mounted in /media/p

I found solution finally. Just add

gnome-mount -p Data(change it to your volume label)

to gnome startup applications. Now drive will be mounted at startup and you will be able to mount/unmount it without any errors.
