Gnome, for example, automatically mounts removable media on /media.
I don't know if that default can even be changed, and I never bothered

If you plan to mount your data partition (or whatever) so that it will
always be in exactly the same place, then you should create a new
mount
point of your own and mount your partition there using /etc/fstab.
Where you put the new mount point depends on whether the filesystem is
to be available to all users of the machine, or just you.
I perhaps should have mentioned that it's a headless server & that
this will just basically be a drive which is used for file-serving.
So no automount stuff goes near it.
I'm inclined to look at automounting USB disks, CFcard readers &
stuff, because sometimes it is handy to plug those into the machine
which serves as central file repository.
But right now I'm seeing no reason not to use my familiar /mnt/space
convention.
