That is likely to break if he puts two usb devices in the system and inserts them in the wrong order to what he usually does.... Rather mount by fs LABEL on the device or it's GUID. First column in /etc/fstab: LABEL=MY_FS_LABEL GUID=VERY_LONG_GUID_GOES_HERE Personally, I feel fstab is the wrong place for pluggable filesystems. Rather use automounting daemons like ivman, or the desktop environment, for this purpose and leave only fixed disks in fstab that are not likely to change -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- [email protected] mailing list
