About /run/media

[Sergio Belkin]

Hi folks,
In this case is not my will express my complains about why removable
devices are mounted on /run/media but I'd want to know how
udisks/udev/systemd/whoever chooses where it will mount the device,
and even took a look to logs, udev and udisks monitor, nothing,
nothing at all

I was looking for through udisks/udev/systemd and I haven't found
nothing at all, apologise my ingnorance, but how that task is
performed?

Please could you enlighten me?

Thanks in advance

Sergio,

This change was made upstream in udisks2. It seems like it's hard coded
and is not a configurable option. More information here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1020759/comments/3

Google search terms "udisks run media" will get you even more
information.

If you want to configure where a given device will be mounted, you can
simply add a line for it to /etc/fstab , as has been the case for eons.
udisks respects /etc/fstab ; if a device is listed there, then when
udisks comes to mount it, it'll mount it in the location specified.

You can even configure this graphically via GNOME's Disks app; click a
partition / volume, click the 'gears' (options) icon for it, select Edit
Mount Options..., and change Mount Point to whatever you like. Whatever
mount point you set will be remembered. (I don't remember if it writes
the setting out to /etc/fstab or somewhere else).
