Moin,
i think this is a change from LSB, and /media is the new way to handle
devices that not beeing mounted like network devices that allways
there.
/mnt for network devices, /media for local devices.

Hi guys,

I've been having a look at the yoperbase package and I've thought there is a
minor issue that could be improved. But first of all, reply the following
questions: What is the difference between the 'mnt' and 'media' dirs? Aren't
they supposed to be the same thing? Isn't 'mnt' kept for
backwards-compatibility? Isn't the 'media' dir replacing 'mnt' in most new
distros? Then, why not to create 'mnt' as symbolic link to 'media'? That way
unexperienced/new users won't get confused with this duality. Besides, you
have the same filesystems mounted in both places doing the whole thing much
easier and clear. Haven't you ever accessed 'mnt' looking for a mounted
fileystem that finally turned to be in 'media' or the other way round? What
a mess!

What do you think about it?
