So, following your sequential philosophy, the second stick should be /dev/sdb2. But mounting this device failed because it did not exist.

You cannot guess that, kernel decides which name to use. The next name kernel use would be /dev/sdc1 btw. -- İsmail Dönmez - openSUSE Booster SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

the '2' is the partition-number - the next drive would most probably be /dev/sdc, and you could try mounting /dev/sdc1. You can also check the output of dmesg and see the drive-letter that was assigned when you plugged in the stick.

I plugged in two usb sticks and invoked 'ls /dev/disk/by-id'. A list appeared referring to the first stick as usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Disk_00000000000064-0:0 usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Disk_00000000000064-0:0-part1 and to the second stick as usb-058f_Spaceloop_8GB_E7B24B26-0:0 usb-058f_Spaceloop_8GB_E7B24B26-0:0-part1 But that does not give me access to the sticks since these names are completely useless because they are no directory names.

As Ismail pointed out you want to run "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id" to see where the names point to. You can also run "parted -l" or "fdisk -l" either will list the devices.

Use these in your /etc/fstab, then you can mount them as you would /dev/sdb1. E.g. create a directory for each stick: # mkdir /media/Spaceloop /media/Usbstick use a more meaningful name for the latter if you can think of one. Then, use the following in your /etc/fstab ( \ at the end of line means the following stuff should be on the same line): /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Disk_00000000000064-0:0-part1 \ /media/Usbstick auto defaults,user,users,noauto 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-058f_Spaceloop_8GB_E7B24B26-0:0-part1 \ /media/Spaceloop auto defaults,user,users,noauto 0 0 With that, you can use 'mount /media/Spaceloop' and 'eject /media/Spaceloop' for save sync, unmount and "eject" and 'mount /media/Usbstick' (similiarly) no matter what port you plug your sticks. With KDE and Gnome, you can AFAIK have mount/eject done via an Icon. I know no details there though.

Bye, Wolfgang
His information may not have helped but in fairness I have to say that his answer _exactly_ answered the question you asked. If you wanted different information, you should have asked for what you actually wanted. You said "/dev/sdb1" in your own question, which is a device node, not a filesystem mount point. These locations above are exactly the same device nodes. You asked for a device node and you got a device node. Now you are asking for a mounted filesystem mount point, which is entirely different. It's ok that you were hazy on the distinction since it's a pretty low level techie thing that the average user is generally protected from having to understand. But I just wanted to say that it was wrong to say the information was not helpful. rather, your question was not. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There is no way to predict what the /dev/sd* names will be. You *could* watch tail -f /var/log/messages for the device names as they appear, The real answer is "don't use those names" they are a hold-over from days gone by when disk drives were fixed things that never moved or changed for the life of a machine. Instead there are a few different ways to identify a disk today. One, easiest, is rely on the automounter and just look in: /media/<volume name> That will be the already-mounted filesystem, not a device or link to a device. Or, to find the devices for the disk and any partitions: look under any/all of the following, depending on your preference: /dev/disk/by-id /dev/disk/by-path /dev/disk/by-uuid The same devices will appear under all 3 of those. You use whichever is most convenient for you. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

But that means that autofs must be running. So far it is not in my system. By the way, it is interesting that the cdrom is mounted automatically but the usb devices are not. Years ago, I used autofs for automatically mounting nfs file systems. But as soon as one of the servers was missing, the computer that tried to mount his file system became so slow that working on it became almost impossible. That's the reason why I do not like autofs. It is safer to mount the usb devices manually. But I still wonder how the cdrom can be mounted automatically without autofs running.

That is because it has nothing to do with autofs. There is an automounter in HAL.

Hi, reading through the whole thread, I'm still not sure what you really want. If its simply to mount your USB-devices, then (assuming hal is running on your system and halmount is installed) you can receive a list of all devices attached by simply typing halmount on the command line. It gives you a list of devices and their mount point (if mounted). You can then simply mount a device with "halmount devicename" using the devicename that halmount showed you before.
