Try creating an fstab line for it, using "/dev/disk/by-id/..." as the device node (it is independent of where it is plugged).
Not sure what you mean here...what would that look like? Would I need to create a name for it myself like /dev/disk/by-id/wd-usb or do I get the name from /var/log/messages as it's detected, or something else entirely?
Trick: once the drive is mounted, and supposing you discovered it is /dev/sda1, do a grep for it: ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ | grep sda1 You can also see it using the yast partitioner, and I suppose there are other methods I haven't investigated. Example (vfat): /dev/disk/by-id/usb-EGOMAN_Audio_Player_00311000100000000001-part1 /mnt/usb/mp3 vfat noauto,user,users,uid=cer,gid=users,fmask=0117,dmask=0007,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=437 0 0 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
