A long time ago I got burned with a type in /etc/fstab and back then I was told how to test out changes to fstab. Well I just added my USB drive to fstab and want to make sure I got it right. The line I added is: /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive ext4 defaults 1 2 I figure this out from the fstab man page and that the following works: mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive But I want to test first before I reboot. BTW, the messages I now get for this drive during boot are: Dec 15 19:56:06 homebase kernel: usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0bc2, idProduct=3300 Dec 15 19:56:06 homebase kernel: usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Dec 15 19:56:06 homebase kernel: usb 1-2: Product: Desktop Dec 15 19:56:06 homebase kernel: usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Seagate Dec 15 19:56:06 homebase kernel: usb 1-2: SerialNumber: 2GHJTCB4 Dec 15 19:56:06 homebase kernel: usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Oh, and I used e2label to label the partition the same as its serial #). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
