Don't do that. Really.
1) Don't use drive or partition device names such as /dev/sda7. They are
unreliable. Use persistent identifiers such as UUID or LABEL instead.
How does that work if these are for removable devices (as I think from
past threads may well be the case here),
In this case I am dealing with the only hard drive existing
internal to the laptop.
and you may be plugging
half-a-dozen different devices into the same port at different times
(and want each one to be mounted to this same place)?
AFAIK, both UUID and LABEL are device- or FS-specific. If that's not the
case, I'd be interested to learn about it.
