Unix, on the other hand,
has a unique root directory
and mounts drives (including removable media)
as directories on the filesystem. [#disk_location]
On Linux, flash drives are mounted under ``/media/``,
are assigned a directory based on their label,
and the assigned directory won't change unless the partition label changes
or the drives are manually mounted somewhere else.
For graphical file managers,
each flash drive has its own trash folders,
one per user.
