If it's Ext3, there's the e2label command. If it's FAT, you have to assign a Windows-like drive letter, then use the DOS/FAT drive labelling commands to label the drive. Though, the simplest solution, if you can plug it into a Windows box, is to do so, and right-click and rename the drive. It irks me, seeing how Gnome plays so heavily upon using the name of the drive as a mount point, that we have to go through all these shenanigans to rename a drive, when Windows users have it so easy. Sure, make us type in a root password to allow the change, but let us right-click on a drive and rename it. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

I believe the following is true for Fedora 13. When the disk is on and plugged in, does an entry for it appear in ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid What I have done is the following: 1) In my /etc/fstab I have (following is all one line, forgive the line wrap) UUID=90de18a5-489b-40bd-85a4-9a2ff3a15d81 /media/wd ext2 noauto 0 0 2) When I turn on my USB disk, the following appears: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/90de* rsew...@rsewill:~ <2:6> $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/90de* lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Dec 15 01:42 /dev/disk/by-uuid/90de18a5-489b-40bd-85a4-9a2ff3a15d81 -> ../../sdf1 It appears I can use UUID=name where name is found in /dev/disk/by-uuid in my /etc/fstab file. 3) I do, sudo mount /media/wd Please note: I have my /etc/sudoers file set up so I can do sudo mount As root, one edits the /etc/sudoers file using the visudo command to set up what user can do what with the sudo command. Similarly, I believe I can use LABEL=label for the disk if it appears in /dev/disk/by-label. I have a walkman which I have labeled, WALKMAN. My fstab entry for it is as follows: (following is all one line, forgive the line wrap) LABEL=WALKMAN /media/walkman vfat noauto,user 0 0 The entry, when the walkman is plugged in, in /dev/disk/by-label is rsew...@rsewill:~ <2:11> $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/WALKMAN lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Dec 15 01:47 /dev/disk/by-label/WALKMAN -> ../../sdg1 I can mount my walkman, as a normal user, because of the "user" option in the /etc/fstab file. mount /media/walkman I use "noauto" or "noauto,user" so I can control when the device is mounted. I mount these devices manually. Please see "man 8 mount" for the definitions of these options, noauto, user, defaults. I assume, since you say you want it mounted automatically, and I assume at boot time, you will not want the "noauto" option. Would you, instead, use the "defaults" option instead of "noauto"? If the device is not turned on during boot, with the "defaults" option, I'm not sure what will happen. I expect the system to wait a long time and/or hang waiting for the device to appear. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0Id6gACgkQyc8Kn0p/AZR65gCfSjpKUXRNqj0KzLgfazGY4Y8U 4xgAnRjdZ0kiUMGBUmXgfV4oUqn5ZGy/ =tTbg -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Still having problems with mount of USB drive at boot time
This is for Fedora 12 and a 1.5Tb USB seagate drive. How do I get this drive recognixzed at boot time? Once it is set up it is known as: /media/d4ae05a3-c60f-489d-8159-e16c9a271f0b -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
