True, but I have not changed most of the details since July 2009
(that's the earliest copy I still have, from way before my scripts
were under version control). Do rules split across more than one
line (your first backslash) work ? It's a long time since I looked
at rules, but at one time every example I could find was on a single
line.

I do it in stages, in the part you trimmed. The second stage is
mkdir /media/olympus with a chown to me and whichever group I
am in (in the early days, many of my builds were on clfs, and at one
time my default group differed between the two books). The third
stage adds /dev/olympus to /etc/fstab with mountpoint /media/olympus
and that lets me mount it.
