Re: [gentoo-amd64] USB flash drive mount point fun

[Lukas Oliva]

Yes, this is clear. Well I have never seen this, but (just another  
guess), as you seem to use KDE, does KDE use ivman or does it handle  
automatical mounting by its own mechanism? If so than maybe you should  
check some KDE setting for this. The best thing Ican say is: try to enable  
ivman/udev verbose logging and see why it is disconnected/reconnected. The  
other thng you could do is to disable ivman temporarily and see if KDE can  
mount it on its own.
