I need to mount multiple SMB shares which all having the same name (i.e. Documents) macOS will mount them like this: Documents, Documents-1, Documents-2 etc which makes very difficult to distinguish which mount point corresponds to which server.
I have found two ways of mounting SMB share through script.
The following simplified statements seem to work, but they create a share which is only visibly by the root, so my current user has no access to it.
The following method seems to create the share, which is visible by the local user, but there is no control over the mount point it creates in the system.
Is it possible to mount a share and select which mount point will be using ?

do shell script "sudo mkdir /Volumes/Documents180" user name "mac_user" password "mac_password" with administrator privileges
do shell script "sudo mount_smbfs //smb_user:smb_password@192.168.179.24/Documents /Volumes/Documents180" user name "mac_user" password "mac_password" with administrator privileges

mount volume "smb://smb_user:smb_password@192.168.179.24/Documents/"
