Icons for mount points (Continuing with configuring our "new" Debian server
About a week and a half ago, acting on recommendations from a couple of
List members, I moved the mount point for the "Auxiliary" mirrored pair
I added from "Media" to the file system root, and it works quite nicely.
But a question: I'd like that mount point to show up in Gnome as
something other than a generic folder icon. Specifically, as an icon I
use generally for disk volumes in both Linux and Mac OS X, a photograph
of a 1970s-era removable disk pack, stored in its pack cover (not sure
if the picture I found is of a pack to fit an IBM "Merlin" drive, but
it's the same general size and shape).
When I plug that icon into the mount-point folder's properties, it shows
up as a disk pack. Until the system is rebooted. After a reboot, the
mount point shows up as a generic document icon (the very last thing I
would want a mount point to look like!)
What am I doing wrong?

(In no great hurry for an answer, as I'm going to be on vacation for two
weeks, but I will be checking my email, and even though I'll be unable
to actually *try* anything anybody suggests, I'll certainly be *looking*
at any replies, and acknowledging them.)
