I've got a USB keychain-drive, and a 120GB external firewire drive with 4 partitions. I want to make mounting them simple, so my wife can use the computer too, and so I don't have to think to do routine tasks like these. All partitions are of type msdos, so I can't (apearantly) use LABEL="mylabel" with them in fstab. The problem is, since they're external drives, where they show up changes depending on what's already mounted. IE. Whatever drive I mount first gets /dev/sda*, and the second one gets /dev/sdb*. I'd like to always mount the same partitions to the same folder in /mnt, no matter if it were designated sdb or sda. Is there a (fairly simple) way to do this? When my wife uses the computer, it'll already be in X, with Fluxbox, so I don't even _need_ to have them in fstab, since the fluxbox menu just runs whatever command designated.
