As far I know, my drive is mounted under /dev directory as /dev/sda and the partitions are mounted as /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 but I have to go to /media/DATA to access my data on a partition. This page says that /dev/sda is called a drive and /dev/sdb1 is called a partition. I want to ask what /media/DATA is called and how do I find(using command-line of course) /media/DATA if I know of /dev/sdb1 or vice-versa.

/media/DATA is your mounted file system./dev/sda1 is the partition./dev/sda is the drive.If you wanted to interact with the file system, say create a file, you would interact with /media/DATA.If you wanted to interact with the partition, say format or create a file system you would interact with /dev/sda1.If you wanted to interact with the drive itself, say backup your partition table dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/DATA/partition_table.img bs=512 count=1 you would interact with /dev/sda.
