Somewhere online I had found some methods for forcing automount using my own

failed hard drive, I cannot tell you how exactly how I did it. It will take
some searching to find it again.
In any case, now it works again, with one detail changed: instead of mounting
external drives as
/media/<user_name>/<custom_mount_point>/
-- now it has reverted to an earlier usage, namely just
/media/<custom_mount_point>/
-- which is how I organized mount points in Kubuntu. When I changed from
Kubuntu to Debian to Devuan, somewhere the <user_name> part got inserted, but
only for external (USB) hard drives; for my 3 internal hard drives (besides
sda1), everything remained the same throughout.
While I did not intend to change anything in my setup, somehow this caused all
kinds of confusion; so I suspect it has to do with the installation of pmount
or udisks2, or maybe failure to install those packages.
Now that solved one other mistery, that naged me for years. The answer is in "man
udisks", and the correct udevd-rule is to be found in the arch wiki:
On devuan/debian, removeable devices are mounted under /media/$USER/<SOMENAME>
With this file in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-udisks2.rules, it's mounted under
/media/<SOMENAME> - you don't even need to restart udevd to make it work :)
# UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED
# ==1: mount filesystem to a shared directory (/media/VolumeName)
# ==0: mount filesystem to a private directory (/media/$USER/VolumeName)
# See udisks(8)
# Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udisks
ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto",
ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"

Does this
sound like what you describe?
That is exactly what happens with pmount. e.g.:
/media/12.7MB ( sdb1 )

I will leave this to brighter minds to enlighten us, as it is a mystery to me,
but I will be following this thread.
