I have an external USB HD with 4 encrypted partitions (reiserfs). When they get mounted they are named /media/disk-1 etc. I'd prefer if I could give them a fixed name like "backup1" or something... How can I do that?
You have to give a label to each partition. This is dependent on the particular filesystem: ext3, xfs, reiserfs... each one has a different utility to add a label. Ah, I see you use reiser; then it is "reiserfstune - --label NAME device". And being encrypted partitions complicates the procedure somewhat: you have to activate the unencrypted device (devmapper or loop) used to access the partition, without mounting it, and this is a thing that the "/etc/init.d/boot.crypto" doesn't do: you have to do it manually. Maybe if you explain what type of encryption you use, like the /etc/criptosomething file, I can help you a bit more. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
