USB volumes mounted on /run/media/$USER/volid

In ubuntu 26.04 USB mounted drives are no longer in /media/$USER/volid but in /run/media/$USER/volid is this a permanent change?

Think so. AFAIK it is hard coded by canonical on udev sources :frowning:

other linux distros used this path and now canonical want to enter to the “game” too…

If I have my USB drive partitions defined in the

/etc/fstab

such that they point to the following mount points,

/site/DB005_F*

can I safely state that I am not impacted by what you describe, because I am bypassing the “automount” logic usually associated with plugging in a USB drive (which is specifically why I eventually settled on doing things that way)?



Example entry in my /etc/fstab:

# /dev/sdc4    ext4     DB005_F2   a48c6161-986f-4fd9-b127-7d070d86d68f   300G          /site/DB005_F2 USB_EXTERNAL
UUID=a48c6161-986f-4fd9-b127-7d070d86d68f 	/site/DB005_F2 	ext4 	defaults,nofail,journal_checksum,journal_async_commit,commit=15,errors=remount-ro,journal_ioprio=2,data_err=ignore,nodiscard,noauto	0	0


Extract from my /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 usb-storage.quirks=1058:25ee:u usbcore.autosuspend=-1 ipv6.disable=1"

Yes
