Mounting a USB device with a predetermined name

When I attach a USB storage device to my Solaris server, the mount point is coming up as /rmdisk/unnamed_rmdisk

Is there anyway I can have this device come up as a mounted device with a predetermined mount name eg /morespace rather than unnamed_rmdisk ?

NAME
usbipd - USB/IP server daemon SYNOPSIS
usbipd [options] DESCRIPTION
usbipd provides USB/IP clients access to exported USB devices. Devices have to explicitly be exported using usbip bind before usbipd makes them available to other hosts. The daemon accepts connections from USB/IP clients on TCP port 3240. The clients authorised to connect may be configured as documented in hosts_access(5). OPTIONS
-D, --daemon Run as a daemon process. -d, --debug Print debugging information. -v, --version Show version. LIMITATIONS
usbipd offers no authentication or authorization for USB/IP. Any USB/IP client running on an authorised host can connect and use exported devices. EXAMPLES
server:# modprobe usbip server:# usbipd -D - Start usbip daemon. server:# usbip list - List driver assignments for usb devices. server:# usbip bind -b 1-2 - Bind usbip-host.ko to the device of busid 1-2. - A usb device 1-2 is now exportable to other hosts! - Use 'usbip unbind -b 1-2' when you want to shutdown exporting and use the device locally.
