I just formatted my external HD and divided it in two partitions: an ext4 where important information will be, and a ntfs for "compatibility" things (i.e. movies, music, etc).
I encrypted the ext4 partition with TrueCrypt but now I'm facing a problem I hadn't before: instead of mounting in /media/DATA/
it is mounting in /media/truecryptX
, where X is the number of virtual device selected in TrueCrypt.
I know that if I always mount the partition as device 1, the mount point will be always /media/truecrypt1/
, but I would like to have some other point more "meaningful" like /media/DATA/
. For example the ntfs partition is always mounted as /media/DATANTFS/
because it isn't encrypted.

If you use TC GUI, you should set some favorite volumes -- you can read more about it here. It's simple. First you have to mount your volumes one by one and specify mount points:
Then you just add them to favorites:
The more you add, the bigger will be the list of favorite volumes:
Next time you want to mount them, you just have to use
Favorites
menu:Or if you want to use a terminal, just type the following line:
It will mount all the favorite volumes you have on the list.
If you want to do it as a normal user, you can add that user to
truecrypt
group:and set an appropriate entry in sudo config file:
You should consider using LUKS instead. It's a way easier to configure every aspect of encrypted volumes.
