External SD Card mount point name changed with Marshmallow update

[buzzra]

Strange thing happened when I did the Marshmallow OTA upgrade on my AT&T H900. The phone is stock, no root, all AT&T OTA updates installed. After I let the OTA marshmallow upgrade happen, All apps that were using the external SD for storage, (not running from, just storage) no longer saw the external SD. Using ES File Explorer, I found that the path name had changed! In 5.1.1, it was /storage/external_SD, after the marshmallow upgrade it is /storage/3164-3930. Anyone know why? Can I get the path back or is this normal and I should go through ALL my apps and change the storage location? That would be a pain in the ass.

I also noticed:
/storage/emulated is empty and it wasn't before.
/mnt has an 'sdcard' directory in it, which is the internal storage, but nothing for the external SD.

Thanks for any help!

It changed on my phone also. I've been trying for days to figure out what the new path was. Seems really odd they would change it to something harder to remember.

I am pretty sure this is a fundamental change to Marshmallow and not specific to just the LG V10 version of MM. So, no other help, sorry.
