Hey guys. Picked up an external drive a few days ago and set it up just
fine. Using AMD64 Lenny on Assus board. External drive is a bakup
drive w usb connection and separate p/s.
Have two hd's on box plus this external drive. Use linux on one hd, XP
on a separate drive and reboot back and forth on occasion as needed.
Partitioned new external to reduce Windows partition and add Linux
partition. All works fine. No problemo' there. No problemo' w. other
situation either.
But where I am having problem is that when I come back into linux from
XP, a restart from XP, linux changes the mount point on my usb various
drives, externala and stick drives which are also attached.
Am using rsync in a script I wrote and so when I want to backup it's
easy, except now the mount point is different.
Is there any way to lock in the mount point on the external drives by
editing a file somewhere? I've googled all over and all I can find is
people having problems with the name being changed, not the mount
point. The name in fstab is the same (/dev/sdd2) and the drive info.
AMD64 automounts the drive and sticks an icon in the tray automatically
on bootup but, again, changes the mount point so when I try to run my
sccript, it's no longer looking at the correct usbport. I am not
moving the drives at all. The system is changing the usb port names on
reboot all by itself. Usb0, Usb1,Usb2, etc.
I assume someone has added an external usb drive and had the same
problem and am just wondering how you solved it. Thanking you in
advance for any help.
fstab entry:
/dev/sdd2 /media/usb0 ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 0
script lines:
#/bin/bash
rsync -vrlptg --delete /home/whit/ /media/usb0/home/whit
Again, this worked fine before my reboot, but now the drive /dev/sdd2
is on mountpoint /media/usb1, not /media/ usb0.
gracias amigos, por favor.
Whit
