Some people may use the filesystem label, but I'm always afraid that when or if I move the f/s to a larger device the name will not change, and if I plug in the old device it will mount. Using UUID will keep you from that particular problem.
Every time I boot and log in I find at least one of my internal drives mounts in a different directory than it had previously (the others may as well, but I've not yet noticed - read on).
It's never the same directory (it's either "/media/disk" "/media/disk-1", or "/media/disk-2" or "/media/disk-3").
I've got a symlink from a directory in ~/ to a subdirectory on one of my internal drives and it breaks with every boot.
Is this a bug or a feature? ;)
How might I get my drives to mount in the same place every time?
If you put a label on your drive it will mount under the label.
If you name your drive Scott_1, it will be mounted as /media/Scott_1
not disk-x. I do this with all my sticks and cards to identify them easier. It is nice at work as we all have the same brand/model/type of stick. I can plug mine in and my name shows up.
