I have edited fstab to set mount point for mp3 player but it mounts as 4.1 GB media. Is there a way to mount it as a name? I am using UUID in fstab, it reads


# /dev/sdc
UUID=0123-4567 /media/disk vfat defaults,norelatime,users 0 0
Surely there is a way to mount it as "Sansa Clip"?

You could use gparted to change the volume label of your mp3 player. If you haven't got gparted installed, it is in the repositories and you can use Synaptic Package Manger and of course the command line to install it. then go to System-->Administration-->Partition Editor.

The model name in gparted shows SanDisk Sansa Clip 4Gb. Shouldn't fstab be able to name it for the mount point?

It may not, as deep down Linux doesn't deal well with spaces in names. Maybe try Sansa_Clip and see what happens.
