Ive looked everywhere to fix this problem but I cant seem to figure out why its doing this. I have the following /etc/fstab entry to mount a ntfs partition using ntfs-3g.

UUID=01CD842715EC2180   /media/mediahd02        ntfs    defaults,user,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=007,fmask=117      0       2

The volume label for this partition is "MEDIA02"

So I have had no problems with the fstab mounting. The problem however is that it automounts again using MEDIA02 label. I'm not sure automounting is the right term for this as its just an empty directory. Deleting this directory and rebooting is causing it to appear again.

So listing /media I see both MEDIA02 & mediahd02

Can someone shed some light as to why its doing this ?
