You may wish to set the label on the device http://linux.wordpress.com/2006/10/07/suse-automatically-mount-usb-hard-drives/ is a starting point. This is always mount the device the way you want it to be. You can also set the label using YaST. YaST | System | Partitioner. Here, edit the label and you should be good to go. I suggest you unmount & remount the drive to be safe. Rich -- GPG/PGP Key Id: 1B257AEC from pgp.mit.edu Remember, all Windows machines are, by definition, fault tolerant.
