A plugged in hard drive, flash drive, or some internal drive. The /media directory is used to mount removable/temporary media in, with the mounted media becoming a sub-directory inside it. e.g. If I plugged in a USB flash drive, it might be /media/usbdisk. With some media is not written to until you unmount it, at that point the contents are written, *then* it is actually unmounted. If you interrupt that process, the files aren't written. If you create a directory inside /media when there isn't actually any media mounted in there, or using a name that's different from any mounted media, you've just created an ordinary directory inside /media on the file tree. Any files inside it will still be there. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
