[Solved[Data Partition Keeps Changing Mount Point Name

I have a partition for all my music on sda10. Problem im having is, it changes the mount point name, it can be /media/disk(-1/-2/-3/) on any given bootup. With MPD/Sonata I keep having to edit /etc/mpd.conf to reflect the new partition name.

Is it possible to make it use the same name?

Thanks
Andy

A possible low tech solution: set the label on the partition - then it might get always mounted as /media/<label>

Messed around with fstab and managed to figure it out.........didn't realise I had mkdir.

I'll learn.........hopefully
