How to change mounted HDD UUID to human-readable?
I have Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS installed on SSD, and I mounted HDD also for data. But when I did this, the UUID it has consists of random set of numbers and letter like this /mnt/9d79a504-bf86-4a1f-99e4-927b9e20df6e and even if I labeled it and gave a simple name to my disk - Storage, I still can't navigate to it like cd /mnt/Storage in terminal, I tried to give it an alias also, but it's failed. So is anyone who can help me with that?
Thanks!
I checked this links below, which looked similar, but, I forced to ask this question.
How can I give other drives and partitions short, meaningful names in nautilus?

It seems that what You're looking for is changing the mount point. I believe You can modify /etc/fstab manually to change that - just follow the example: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#Examples - or use build in disks management tool. Search for "disks" in the shell, then find a partition You need, select it, click use 'gears' icon and "Modify mounting options..." (I believe). Disable defaults and change "Mounting point" path. Reboot may be necessary.

Thanks, I solved it and then saw your answer! You rock! Your advice was almost identical what I did. I just set a Label for my disk using "GParted", then went to "Disks" and "Edit Mount Options..." and then all what was needed is to change the option "Identify As" from "UUID=..." to "LABEL=...". That's it.

I believe it's rather Your solution than mine, so it would be totally ok for me if You post it separately and accept as the answer. :) Anyway I'm glad You managed to solve this issue and that I could help in any way, if I did. Thanks to the One I say. :)

I solved the problem by using exactly "Disks" and "GParted". Anyway, thank you.
