Re: Alias for pen drives

The alias '/dev/dvd' is for dvd. What is the alias for pen drives?

It depends on the label on the filesystem of the pen. Usually, you will
find it mounted in /media directory. In my case, it is /media/disk.

Thanks, Andrea. Precisely, I am looking for a label that does not
depend on the filesystem, likewise '/dev/dvd'. If I insert my pen
drive and run the command 'df- h', I can see that '/dev/sdd1'
corresponds to the pen drive. However, this label ('dev/sdd1') depends
on the filesystem.
