Can anyone point me to an easily understandable procedure to make the external drives mount to the same mount point every time? Any assistance will be sincerely appreciated.
Try Yast, System, Partitioner, and give them a label, and mount them by label. That should fix it.
Did all that. According to the partitioner, the volume label is 'Float' but when I look at properties, the volume label has not changed. I get the feeling that I'm missing something really simple here. I just can't figure out what it is.
Did you umount the device, and perhaps unplug and replug (assuming USB external drives), then let hal remount. It should load to the mount point /media/Float.
I knew it was something simple. It was me. There are three entities involved: Label; Volume Name; and Gnome. Gnome renames 'label' to 'name' and then uses 'volume name' as a display name. I had them all confused. To make a long story short and to keep from confusing everyone, I now have all four volumes labeled, named, and mounting in a consistent sequence. Rebooting after making changes helped a lot. Thanks for everyone's help.
