What did I miss in setting up the > external drive initially? IIRC, yesterday you were labelling /dev/sde1, not sdd1. Did it get enumerated differently today? If the system consistently mounts the drive to a specific location (ex /run/media/bobg/<UUID> you could make a symbolic link to the mount point in your homedir, say /home/bobg/extdisc. If the drive is mounted you have an easy to use path to it. Otherwise it will just be a broken link, no problem. jon -- Jon H.
