How did you make it work in the first place in 10.0? Autoplugging usually does not used a named entry but a generated one like usb-0*.
Mine works exactly like Mike's used to. If I plug in my Maxtor USB hard drive, it's auto-mounted under /media/USBDISK. As far as I recall, I didn't create the USBDISK mount point myself, so it must have been generated by SuSE.
I am trying to do some data recovery on dying drives and I need this. I just got a new box from MicroStar and I am trying to make it work with all onboard equipment. In my case it could be my drives are toast.
But I am still willing to help. I too want to use HD backup.
/dev/sda1 /media/FlashDrive auto noauto,users,exec,sync 0 0
this plus manual mounting is how I did Flash drives in 7.2
mount /dev/sda1 /media/FlashDrive/
Why not make a script for backup and use the manual methods?
