Beginners • Re: Need to mount encrypted external drives to specific mount point

I suggest you look into mounting encrypted drives via /etc/fstab with your favourite web search engine.

Note that /sda1 is not a mount mount point it's a device node. A mount point is a just an arbitrary directory. Which physical device gets /dev/sda etc. depends on the order they are detected and/or plugged in.

For non-encrypted drives you'd mount via fstab using something other than device node to identify the partition (LABEL, UUID, PARTUUID, /dev/disc/by-*/* for example).
