Re: [PLUG] Mounting USB flash drive

[John Jason Jordan]

Also, I find it is better to give the partition a label with gparted
and then use the label in fstab rather than /dev/sd??.Not only does
this eliminate confusing fstab as to which device to mount, but it also
means that my label is what appears in the GUI file manager, so I am
also less likely to be confused, e.g.:

 /mnt/flash vfat auto,user,rw 0 0

Hi, Tomas,

  Okay, but on other hosts it's always been users and worked with no issues.

Thanks,
