Hello there, running a Fedora 8.. since I don't know when, my root partition is randomly mounted as /dev/sda3 or /dev/sdc3. This breaks the mount possibilities from within Nautilus, as it seems to be a complete mess w/ detected devices (or remembered?) devices. It's a D810 laptop, w/ a SATA disk (usually sda, root sda3 and labelled as '/' and swap as SWAP-sda4, sda1 and sda2 being NTFS). When I boot the laptop w/ some USB disks connected (labelled storage3 and storage4), I'll get random mount sequences. At the beginning the USB disks were sdb and sdc and could be mounted w/o problem from Nautilus. But I recently reboot and found that this has changed -> root is sdc3 and one of the external USB disks is now sda1. / and swap partitions are in fstab, storage3 and storage4 aren't. If that doesn't prevent the system from running fine, from within Nautilus, I can't mount the external USB disk anymore, it seems that nautilus remember that 'storage3' was 1st partition, but now it tries to mount /dev/sda1, and fails w/: NTFS signature missing.. Any clues how I could get a fixed mounting sequence? Should I force a specific device (/dev/sdc1) for the labelled partition 'storage3' for instance (and how)? How can it be that the / partition doesn't get the 1st /dev/sdX assignment? Regards, -- wwp
