Mounted device naming convention

[Brad Alexander <storm16@gmail.com>]

For the last couple of kernels, devices that get automounted by the system (thumb drives, USB hard drives, etc) are getting mounted as /media/<UUID>. In past times, they were mounted in /media/disk, /media/disk-1 and so forth. Is there a way to revert to old behavior, preferably on a case-by-case basis? In the interim, I have created a symlink from /media/<UUID> to /media/disk, which works for one device. Is there a better way than this to manage it? 

Thanks,
