The easiest way is to label the filesystems and edit your /etc/fstab to use the labels instead of the device names. Find one of your devices (assume it's at /dev/sda1): # e2label /dev/sda1 bugaboo Then put a line such as: LABEL=/bugaboo /bugaboo ext3 noauto,user,rw 1 2 in /etc/fstab. That device should always mount at /bugaboo. Note that the hotplug system will mount it at /media/bugaboo if you plug it in later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - The trouble with troubleshooting is that trouble sometimes - - shoots back. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
