Since I switched to Ubuntu Linux at work, I was a bit miffed that all my devices (USB drive, old hard drives, mobile phone in data mode) appeared as "/media/disk" - all the same name. I looked for ages to find out how to set unique and meaningful names for them, but nothing worked, so I just put up with it. Then today I found the answer. For anyone else who has the same problem, these instructions might come in handy:
- Open Nautilus to the Computer area.
- Connect the device.
- Right-click the device and select Properties, then the Drive tab.
- Expand the Settings section.
- Type the desired name in the Mount Point box and close the window.
- Unmount and remount the device.
It's embarrassingly easy for the time it took me to discover the feature.

PS - I just expected it to be harder for some reason.
PPS - Some other things are hard, but perhaps I'm just misunderstanding them.

You're all about helping the common man, aren't you?
Well, for a certain definition of "common", yes. ;)
My nerd alert did kind of go off a bit.
That nerd alert will be the end of me someday.
Well, it will make it difficult for you to sneak up on me to kill me and make a drum out of my skin.
