Hi all,
I got myself a external HDD. I created a ext3 partition and added a label for the new partition. So far all works.
the drive is always mounted to /media/%LABELNAME%
Now I wanted to have the mount point in a different directory.
I had a look at the "Preferences" of the auto mounted drive there is a Drive and a Volume tab. They both seem to do the same or similar things.

I added a new mount point to the "Mount Point" option in the setting section in the hope that this would do the trick.
After unmounting and re-plugging of the external HDD I got this error message and the partition was not mounted automatically anymore.

So now I have two questions:
How can I undo what I did?
How is this feature to be used correctly?
I had a search but could not come up with helping results, e.g. this at help.ubuntu.com (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoveMountpointHowto)
