That's an assumption the operating system makes because most USB drives are thumb drives and the like, single-user disks that come and go. You can change that, though. Create a rule to identify the device uniquely in udev and to assign it a permenant device node (I can't tell you exactly how to do this, it will depend on being able to find something like a serial number that udev can use to identify it.), then add that device node to /etc/fstab, with appropriate mount options. Just out of curiousity, what's the block size (the size occupied by a 1 byte file) on a 1 TB fat32 drive? --Ken -- Ken (Chanoch) Bloom. PhD candidate. Linguistic Cognition Laboratory.
