Can the mount path be changed to "/mnt" since this is a system only used by a single person.

Edit, seems this is using udisks2

    If you're talking about auto-mounting with `udisks` then no, you can't change the mount point to `/mnt` (unless you're willing to [patch the source code](https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/blob/master/src/udiskslinuxfilesystem.c)). You can only change the default mount point to `/media` if you [set `UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED` to `1`](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/169576) – don_crissti Nov 09 '17 at 13:04

From the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard:

"This directory is provided so that the system administrator may temporarily mount a filesystem as needed. The content of this directory is a local issue and should not affect the manner in which any program is run.

This directory must not be used by installation programs: a suitable temporary directory not in use by the system must be used instead."

http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.11.html

That temporary directory is /run/media/.

You could try a bind mount the auto-mounted folders to the /mnt folder eg:

sudo sh -c "for dir in $(ls /media/$USER | grep -v floppy); do mkdir -p /mnt/$dir; mount --bind /media/$USER/$dir /mnt/$dir; done"

Or create a symlink:

ln -s /media/$USER/drivelabel /mnt/drivelabel
