Mounting my own "personal mount" on a system directory never made any sense to me. However, /run/media is still a system directory, so it still doesn't make any sense to me. I think /home/wa1ter/media is a more logical choice. But I'm not doing the coding in this bazaar ;) The upstream dev(s) seem intent on mounting removable media on a tempfs for some reason. Do you know why? I understand completely the reason for inventing /run and making it a tempfs (I think Lennart *was* involved in that), but why use /run when it's not necessary or (IMHO) logical?
