It has a uuid on the partition. You can remove the uuid via
tune2fs -U clear /dev/sdb1
and it should mount as /media/disk next time. I suggest you give it a
label such as
e2label /dev/sdb1 somedescriptivelabel
and next time it should mount as /media/somedescriptivelabel. Keeps
things a bit more clear. My ISO files are on a USB drive, so I have
the filesystem labeled as "CD-DVD-Images":
[root at prophead ~]# e2label /dev/sdc1
CD-DVD-Images
[root at prophead ~] mount
...
/dev/sdc1 on /media/CD-DVD-Images type ext3
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
