That's not a problem is Linux, just create a symlink from the new
path to the old path and the OS will deal with it.

That's what I did for my external driveS (I have drive-a, drive-b,
and drive-c):

sudo ln -s /media/froggy/drive-b/  /run/media/froggy/drive-b/ 

then you can check it with:

readlink /run/media/froggy/drive-b/ 
		/media/froggy/drive-b/
