Well, something I never thought would happen to me is happening: I have more than 1 USB drive hooked to my computer! That's because I just bought one of those 6 in 1 card readers for flash memory cards. Prior to that, I had only 1 external USB hard drive I would hook to the computer from time to time. It seems that I've got at least a major part of the issue of getting the computer (Libranet [Debian variant] with 2.4.19 kernel) to recognize the new drive out of the way: like with my other external hard drive, the flash disks get recognized as scsi drives. They can therefore be found at /dev/sdxx, and assigned mount points from there. But I am a little confused about how this relates to fstab. I put an entry there some time ago for my external HD, which I always mounted at /usb-hd as /dev/sda1. But now that I have this reader, it will not always be found at /dev/sda1. Thus, my question: beyond doing a fully manual mount (e.g., mount /dev/sdxx /mnt/flash-cf) of each drive, how should this be done? Is there some simpler way of mounting these USB drives? I can't think of an fstab entry that would work. Advice on how to more easily mount my USB drives will be appreciated.
