Just one point about this (from experience): do not leave the external drive plugged in when you reboot the system because if you do SuSE will put its details into fstab on boot;
Interesting.
if you then remove the HD and try and reboot the system will not reboot but you will get a msg stating that there is problem with the file system(s).
And the message, at least in previous versions, is confusing, leading to think it is the root filesystem which is at fault.
Exactly! Took me a while to figure out where the problem lay because the first reaction is to think that the root filesystem is the problem area and doing fsck which returns the msg that there is nothing wrong with the filesystem. Cheers. -- The first myth of management is that it exists.
