change removable media name

[e-letter <inpost gmail com>]

Readers,

 When connecting a portable hard disk drive via usb,  the drive always appears
 in the /media partition only after starting the nautilus file manager, will a
 strange name e.g. a random selection of text such as 'tea111'. The drive never
 appears in the gnome-terminal using the command 'ls /media', until nautilus is
 started.

 Why is the happening and how to change? Before using mandriva 20102, the
 mounted drive name was something like 'disk' and could be accessed via the
 terminal without starting nautilus.
