You could create a directory named "m" and mount things there, a further savings of two characters to type! These are arbitrary names, you can mount things anywhere you want. If there an automounter involved, you are going to have to coordinate that choice with the automounter.
Ps: or, "n" since "m" is such a wide character. We don't have JJJ to ask about typography anymore, but maybe "i" would use fewer pixels. -- Russell Senior [email protected] On Mon, Aug 18, 2025 at 4:51 PM Rich Shepard <[email protected]> wrote: > > I used to mount external drives (including USB flash drives) on /mnt. > Several years ago a more knowledgable than I am SysAdmin told me to use > /media instead.
