suddenly, external drives, i.e. /dev/sdc1 started mounting on /media/, but couple of days ago, they went to /run/media/$USERNAME/.
Is it normal? Or it's somehow connected to recent updates (ohrlly)? Anyhow, it's not convinient for me.

How can i fix it?

Where (which DE) did you try to mount them? If I am not mistaken is a difference between udisks (XFCE uses it) and udisks2 (KDE uses it).

Xfce uses udisks2. Udisks is used by LXDE and other lower end DEs.

I use KDE. Thank you for help.

Udisks2 (version 2.0.92 or above) do have the option of mounting volumes either in /media or in /run/media/$USER. This uses a setting UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED. The default is the one with $USER ("private directory"). But it's hard to change this by accident, or have it happen "suddenly" - you would need to edit udev rules to get this property applied to your volumes.

Or: I seem to recall there was dislike about udisks2 when it changed to /run/media/$USER, and there were some non-official patched versions around to revert it, before the official udisks2 release added the option. Maybe you got a patched udisks2 installed?
