chromebook

I have a Chromebook where I installed Crouton. I have plugged an SD Card and Chromebook detects it as "External Drive".

In my Ubuntu instance, it's located at /media/removable/External Drive/ but this poses some problems for executing some applications I have installed on that external drive.

In order to fix the problem, I need to remove all the spaces in the path, which is located in "External Drive".

My question is simple, is it possible to move/rename the mount name "External Drive" to something else and doing it automatically at every mount/boot ?

Thank you for your help !
