/media is the folder where Ubuntu automounts removable media. When a USB storage device is inserted, 2 things happen.
1) It creates a folder in /media 2) It mounts the volume to the folder it just created. IF you already have a folder that you manually created, then the automounter will ignore it, and use a different name. That's why your system is creating a new folder '/media/jjj/Data1'. It's not the mount command doing this. the "user friendly" nature of Ubuntu is to automatically mount such devices and is conflicting with your mountpoints in fstab. Solution? Move all of your manual mountpoints to /mnt. /mnt is a legacy mountpoint folder that applications these days don't use, and is perfect for your application. You will notice significant improvements in the way your devices are mounted if you use a proper folder to mount them in.
