Attached usb drives are automatically mounted in /media/pi/

What makes that they automount in that directory ?

Obviously this is configured somewhere.. What would be the way to customize this ?

EDIT : please do not explain how to mount devices !

  • Ah yes, to manually mount and unmount HDDs, see Appendix A, Part D of my answer to this question: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/100353/can-the-3b-power-two-usb-ssd-drives – tlfong01 Jul 13 '19 at 04:04
  • @tlfong01 Very funny :( – hello world Jul 13 '19 at 04:49
  • Possible reasons: (1) that directory is default, (2) someone did that for you. I agree there is configuration somewhere. The configuration file (a) says where is the default, (b) disables or enables auto mounting. I only know how to mount or unmount. and how to auto mount on boot.. I don't know where is the config file. Perhaps it is the /boot/config.txt My apologies. – tlfong01 Jul 13 '19 at 05:02

    This is not a question belonging to Raspberry Pi. What directories to use in Linux is standardized in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard(FHS). This also includes /media/. To be compliant you should not change it. – Ingo Jul 13 '19 at 09:04
  • @Ingo I know that this standardized, but this not explains why automount mounts specifically in /media/pi/ and not in /media/myadmin/ /media/root/ /media/user/ etc. – hello world Jul 13 '19 at 14:19
  • You should elaborate your question about this and ask at https://unix.stackexchange.com/ – Ingo Jul 13 '19 at 17:06
