my hard drive is located in /media/ronin_cunningham/408242E58242DED2 and I want to change the name 408242E58242DED2 to StorageDevice. How would I do this from the terminal?

Thanks.

The easiest way to do this would be to do it with GUI

  • Go to disk app (through Unity Dash or terminal with gnome-disks command)
  • Choose your partition
  • Click the little gear icon Gear icon
  • Select Edit mount options
  • Toggle Automatic Mount Option to Off
  • Edit mount point to /media/ronin_cunningham/StorageDevice

On a side note, this will also enable your partition to be mounted automatically on start up, If you don't want that to happen then make sure to

  • Un-mark Mount at Startup

You'd want to do this if your Bootup times are slow

screenshot of gnome-disk app Theme might not look exactly like this
