Description Dan MacDonald 2017-05-27 15:08:35 UTC 
Section 17.4.2. Automounting Removable Media ( https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/usb-disks.html ) of the Handbook states:

"Each file system that can be automatically mounted appears as a directory in /media/."

That's not quite correct. Desktop shortcuts (which haven't work for me under Caja or Thunar) are created for each removable drive under /media but the drives are actually mounted under /autofs. 

This is the case under FreeBSD 12 and TrueOS at least. I've not tried it under FreeBSD 11 yet so maybe the handbook is correct for FreeBSD 11 and earlier?

I'm pretty sure the /media is correct for at least stock FreeBSD.  Could you show me your /etc/auto_master?  Thanks!

Very sorry for wasting your time guys - this is a TrueOS setting, not vanilla FreeBSD.
