Hello,
According to the source code of udisks2 [1], the name of the mount point is the one you are experiencing (partition label followed by a number) if there is another file/directory with the same name as the label you want to mount under the path /media/$USER/ :This is the relevant part of the function:As you can see, the code checks if the directory name is already in use, and if so, adds an integer number starting from 1 to the name of the mount point until it finds an unused file name.
So you can check the contents of /media/$USER before mounting your "Data" disk to see if a similar file or directory already exists, i.e. using the command:There may be an old file or directory named "Data".
The same thing happens if the same partition is mounted more than once (without un-mounting it); the first time the mount point will be /media/Data, the second /media/Data1, the third /media/Data2, and so on.
Hope this helps.

According to the source code of udisks2 [1], the name of the mount point is the one you are experiencing (partition label followed by a number) if there is another file/directory with the same name as the label you want to mount under the path /media/$USER/ :
Code:
static gchar *calculate_mount_point (UDisksDaemon *daemon, UDisksBlock *block, uid_t uid, gid_t gid, const gchar *user_name, const gchar *fs_type, gboolean *persistent, GError **error){ UDisksLinuxBlockObject *object = NULL; gboolean fs_shared = FALSE; const gchar *label = NULL; const gchar *uuid = NULL; gchar *escaped_user_name = NULL; gchar *mount_dir = NULL; gchar *mount_point = NULL; gchar *orig_mount_point; GString *str; gchar *s; guint n; label = NULL; uuid = NULL; if (block != NULL) { label = udisks_block_get_id_label (block); uuid = udisks_block_get_id_uuid (block); } object = udisks_daemon_util_dup_object (block, NULL); if (object != NULL) { UDisksLinuxDevice *device = udisks_linux_block_object_get_device (object); if (device != NULL) { if (device->udev_device != NULL) { /* TODO: maybe introduce Block:HintFilesystemShared instead of pulling it directly from the udev device */ fs_shared = g_udev_device_get_property_as_boolean (device->udev_device, "UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED"); } g_object_unref (device); } } /* If we know the user-name and it doesn't have any '/' character in * it, mount in MOUNT_BASE/$USER */ if (!fs_shared && (user_name != NULL && strstr (user_name, "/") == NULL)) { mount_dir = g_strdup_printf (MOUNT_BASE "/%s", user_name); *persistent = MOUNT_BASE_PERSISTENT; if (!g_file_test (mount_dir, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)) { /* First ensure that MOUNT_BASE exists */ if (g_mkdir (MOUNT_BASE, 0755) != 0 && errno != EEXIST) { g_set_error (error, UDISKS_ERROR, UDISKS_ERROR_FAILED, "Error creating directory " MOUNT_BASE ": %m"); goto out; } /* Then create the per-user MOUNT_BASE/$USER */#ifdef HAVE_ACL if (g_mkdir (mount_dir, 0700) != 0 && errno != EEXIST)#else if (g_mkdir (mount_dir, 0750) != 0 && errno != EEXIST)#endif { g_set_error (error, UDISKS_ERROR, UDISKS_ERROR_FAILED, "Error creating directory `%s': %m", mount_dir); goto out; } /* Finally, add the read+execute ACL for $USER */#ifdef HAVE_ACL if (!add_acl (mount_dir, uid, error)) {#else if (chown (mount_dir, -1, gid) == -1) { g_set_error (error, G_IO_ERROR, g_io_error_from_errno (errno), "Failed to change gid to %d for %s: %m", (gint) gid, mount_dir);#endif if (rmdir (mount_dir) != 0) udisks_warning ("Error calling rmdir() on %s: %m", mount_dir); goto out; } } } /* otherwise fall back to mounting in /media */ if (mount_dir == NULL) { mount_dir = g_strdup ("/media"); *persistent = TRUE; } /* NOTE: UTF-8 has the nice property that valid UTF-8 strings only contains * the byte 0x2F if it's for the '/' character (U+002F SOLIDUS). * * See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 for details. */ if (label != NULL && strlen (label) > 0) { str = g_string_new (NULL); g_string_append_printf (str, "%s/", mount_dir); s = ensure_utf8 (label); for (n = 0; s[n] != '\0'; n++) { gint c = s[n]; if (c == '/') g_string_append_c (str, '_'); else g_string_append_c (str, c); } mount_point = g_string_free (str, FALSE); g_free (s); } else if (uuid != NULL && strlen (uuid) > 0) { str = g_string_new (NULL); g_string_append_printf (str, "%s/", mount_dir); s = ensure_utf8 (uuid); for (n = 0; s[n] != '\0'; n++) { gint c = s[n]; if (c == '/') g_string_append_c (str, '_'); else g_string_append_c (str, c); } mount_point = g_string_free (str, FALSE); g_free (s); } else { mount_point = g_strdup_printf ("%s/disk", mount_dir); } /* ... then uniqify the mount point */ orig_mount_point = g_strdup (mount_point); n = 1; while (TRUE) { if (!g_file_test (mount_point, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)) { break; } else { g_free (mount_point); mount_point = g_strdup_printf ("%s%u", orig_mount_point, n++); } } g_free (orig_mount_point); out: g_free (mount_dir); g_clear_object (&object); g_free (escaped_user_name); return mount_point;}Code:
[..] /* ... then uniqify the mount point */ orig_mount_point = g_strdup (mount_point); n = 1; while (TRUE) { if (!g_file_test (mount_point, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)) { break; } else { g_free (mount_point); mount_point = g_strdup_printf ("%s%u", orig_mount_point, n++); } }[..]So you can check the contents of /media/$USER before mounting your "Data" disk to see if a similar file or directory already exists, i.e. using the command:
Code:
ls -lR /media/The same thing happens if the same partition is mounted more than once (without un-mounting it); the first time the mount point will be /media/Data, the second /media/Data1, the third /media/Data2, and so on.
Hope this helps.
