i'm using mdk 10.0, so the kernel doesn't use udev, it's just /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1. i have /dev/sda1 entries in there, but they're noauto since the device isn't in the slot most of the time. also, i have three usb drives (two flash, one hard drive) and sometimes i use two of them at a time. so if the tagging (names assigned when i connect the usb device) of the usb devices isn't constant, then i don't think i can put static /etc/fstab entries (the hard drive has multiple partitions but the flash drives only have one). with /dev/sd[a-b][0-9], though, i have a problem since it's not certain what sd[a-b] letter will be chosen for a given device. on some boxes, it seems to depend on which usb slot i use. on others it seems to be random (or i haven't been paying enough attention and can't see what the pattern is, if there is one). tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Mene sakhet ur-seveh -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
