right. what early distributions were doing was creating subdirectories within /mnt, but that got in the way when users wanted to mount something manually. at least it did bother me.
personally i wish /media would have stuck. i find the current paths /run/media/username/device rather unpractical. whenever i connect a data device i have to go searching for the mountpoint.
- _chu1 3y agoThings lile this are why I use Windows daily. I can assign a specific USB mass storage device a letter it will always use and I memorize it.
- em-bee 3y agoyou can assign a mountpoint to specific devices on linux too. that's not a new feature. giving sensible defaults to automatic mounts is the issue here.
