Your fstab config is fine. Nothing in the mount process should trigger changes in the device node. At this point you need to physically disconnect the drive and reboot the computer.

Ben,

Here's what /var/log/messages shows (this is the most recent of several this
morning):

In none of the earlier mountings of the external drive was it seen as
/dev/sdd.

What's really strange is the log showing it being attached, detached, and
re-attached repeatedly since yesterday morning just after logs rotated. The
string "New USB device" was found 270 times in /var/log/messages. It's not
been mounted all that time.

I suspect it's the external case. Are there any ways of testing this?

Regards,

Rich
