�����: In another thread I mentioned that when I switch on my external 2TB USB WD HDD, Dolphin accesses it and displays its contents to me; but then when I go to use mc (Midnight Commander) this device is no longer mounted in /media as it has been in past many years but now is found in /var/run/media/<username>/<devicename> [in this case the volume name is WD].
Quite by accident a few minutes ago ('cause I am having another hassle, to be describe later) I discovered that the device is ALSO mounted in 'run/media/<username>/<device>'.
/run and /var/run refer to exactly the same filesystem. You can consider them aliases.
Thanks for this bit of information. I didn't know that. But is this something which has only happened now because of the change of where the device(s) are mounted or has this always been this way (ie /run/media/.....) being a "copy" of the mounting point?
