ls /media/name/

DATA/ DATA1/ DATA2/ OS/ OS1/ OS2/

Please see the above output. Initially, the partition name was DATA but changed to DATA1, then DATA2, where DATA and DATA1 became accessible from the root only. Sometimes I can not mount this partition, and when I restart the machine and I see that the partition name has changed.

Why is that happening, and what is the solution to this problem?

  • Looks like your USB device comes up, disappears and comes back again before the old mount point was removed (which explains the +1, +2 added to DATA). Is it a harddisk? In what way is it powered? Tried another USB(3!) port? – Adriaan Sep 25 '20 at 13:31
  • Thanks for your comment. I recently found a solution. https://askubuntu.com/questions/974741/partition-mount-point-keeps-changing – Ashis Sep 26 '20 at 14:22
  • I'm assuming you deleted the /media/user/DATA[123]. The question remains why this is happening. Plug your drive in and do dmesg | tail -50 in a terminal and check for any irregularities. Are you ejecting or umounting the drive after each use? – Adriaan Oct 01 '20 at 09:26
