I am running Mint19.2 with Cinnamon (4..2.4).
I regularly mount new (to me at least) USB pendrives and I'd like to change the default automount point (it's set to a folder that is actually on another network drive, several levels down from /mnt).
Where is the default mount point specified & can it be changed?
thanks
Paul

Re: Default Automount location
The default auto-mount location is
/media/<username>/<devicelabel> and not configurable. If you've got a different one then you are not auto-mounting but configured a mount, check your /etc/fstab.-

Re: Default Automount location
Ah thanks, that gave me the pointer I needed!
I had symlinked /media/<username> to the network drive location for an entirely separate reason, not realising that was also the usb automount point.
D'Oh!

Re: Default Automount location
Note:
In Linux Mint, Portuguese-BR, default automatic mount point for removable (except optical) media is:
/media/username/UUID
Where UUID is the file system UUID, not the file system label, which may not exist.
