Hi there,
I have two external hard drives connected to my pi2. If I remove anyone of them or I change the plug where they are connected (I'm using a HUB) they mount in another point and all the files added to my library are unable to open.
Is there any way to set a fix mount point for each hdd?
Are you unmounting them properly with umount /dev/sdxx (Probably sda1 and sdb1) or using Kodi "Remove safely" option?
On my RPi2 they are mounted at /var/media/<Label-ID>
Label the drives and they will mount using a consistent path

Out of interest, if a HDD does not have a label, where is it mounted?

Same place, however the path will use the device name instead
ie.
/var/media/sda1/
I didn't set any label name

Ok, I found out how to set a label for an EXT4 filesystem using e2label, but it doesn't work with my NTFS hdd.

OK, I got it using ntfslabel. They are set on a fix point right now, exactly as you said. Thank you very much!!!!

The workaround is just like this:
For ext2/3/4 you can use e2label like this: e2label /dev/device new-label-name-here
For NTFS you can use ntfs-3g like this: ntfslabel /dev/device new-label-name-here
And the hdd will mount in the same point.
