[SOLVED] Help With External Drives

I recently had to do a reinstall of my Arch system (I'm asking here because it is much friendlier and I am sure they will be similar solutions) and for some reason all of my external drives are mounting at /mnt.

I would prefer they were in /run/media/dobbie/.... and named correctly. For example my Music drive was called music, now it is wwn-0x5000c50079a415a4-part1.

How can I move their mount points? Is it safe to do?

I used Gnome-Disks to auto mount everything.

Please let me know if you need further information.

Re: [SOLVED] Help With External Drives

I also have a SSD and separate drive for my /home and I followed the instructions from here:

Re: [SOLVED] Help With External Drives

I am so dumb.  I edited fstab and I have had great success.

^ Nice

Any chance you could share your /etc/fstab?

It may be useful to others.
