Strange. I guess my memory is playing tricks on me. I seemed to remember
I recently had an issue where an USB stick wouldn't auto mount and I
concluded the fact that it was unlabeled was the cause.
But trying to mount an USB drive with unlabeled partitions on it indeed
mounts them as /media/disk, /media/disk-1 etc. Sorry for the
misinformation.

Leonard.
