Dolphin mounts partitions in /media folder

I am running Arch with systemd and LXDE and updating the system regularly.  I find that if I mount a partition through Dolphin file manager, it mounts them in /media folder.  On the other hand, if I mount them from thunar file manager, it mounts them to /run/media/username folder. Is this a known problem or there is something wrong with my system?

On google, I found some links but they are not of much help:

Re: Dolphin mounts partitions in /media folder

This is expected behaviour. Dolphin uses udisks which mounts to /media, Thunar uses udisks2 (I think via gvfs), that one now mounts to /run/media.
