Help changing mount point in Cachyos (lemmy.ca)

I just installed Cachyos and I'm having trouble with mount points I think. At boot, I need a password to mount sata drives, and whatever permissions I change don't stay after rebooting. From what I can tell, it has to do with the drives mounting on /run/media, and apparently /run is a temp folder or something.

I think I need to change the mount points to something else, like /media (which doesn't exist and I'm hoping I can just create the folder and use it as a mount point?)

fstab is confusing me, can anyone help me with a quick rundown?

Edit: Think I've got it using gnome disk utility. I switched the mounts, everything boots up connected now. Had an issue where I couldn't read or write to the drives tho haha, but seems to have corrected after a reboot ( I think I may have installed ntfs-3g before the reboot). The owner and group for all of them are now root for some reason, but it seems to be working anyway.

Can you post your fstab?

` GNU nano 8.7 /etc/fstab

/etc/fstab: static file system information.

Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may

be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if

disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

UUID=286B-26F7 /boot vfat defaults,umask=0077 0 2 UUID=25d4a86d-3af5-4b4f-96db-004e921390dd / btrfs subvol=/@,defaults,noatime,compress=zstd,> UUID=25d4a86d-3af5-4b4f-96db-004e921390dd /home btrfs subvol=/@home,defaults,noatime,compress=z> UUID=25d4a86d-3af5-4b4f-96db-004e921390dd /root btrfs subvol=/@root,defaults,noatime,compress=z> UUID=25d4a86d-3af5-4b4f-96db-004e921390dd /srv btrfs subvol=/@srv,defaults,noatime,compress=zs> UUID=25d4a86d-3af5-4b4f-96db-004e921390dd /var/cache btrfs subvol=/@cache,defaults,noatime,compress=> UUID=25d4a86d-3af5-4b4f-96db-004e921390dd /var/tmp btrfs subvol=/@tmp,defaults,noatime,compress=zs> UUID=25d4a86d-3af5-4b4f-96db-004e921390dd /var/log btrfs subvol=/@log,defaults,noatime,compress=zs> tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
