That's not really what I hate. I don't care *where* they mount,
provided that they all mount as subdirs of the same directory, and that
each disk always mounts in precisely the same place.

Yes.
I suppose the really hateful thing is that if OS X insists on mounting
disks in a particular place it has to create a directory there at all
before mounting them. My cron jobs are^Wwere also hateful for not
bothering to check that I was writing to the filesystems I thought I was
writing to.
