ACtually, as per suggestion from others, why don't you try out the combination of HAL and gnome-volume-manager (if you use gnome) and udev? Nowadays, everything will just be plug and play. No need to fiddle with fstab.. just plug it in, HAL will see there a new device, hotplug/coldplug will call out the necessary daemons and mount it automatically for you. Heck, gnome-2.18 seems like you can even specify specific mount points for it.. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
