/media is for temporary mounts and this design is OK
mount your drive somewhere else

because it makes no sense to "updatedb" temporary mounts like
usb-disks, network-mounts and such things since locate-hits
are normally useless for them and "updatedb" runs forever
on slow temporary mounts with a hughe amount of files
