I just remembered that I tried to format the stick with YAST and then forgot about it and removed it.
That was your original problem, yast adds such a line. It is a convenience, but with usb sticks it causes a problem.
I don't think it's default, but yast ask "do you want it mounted" but don't add "permanently" - may be an enhancement possible :-)
Next time, install and use "gparted" instead.
frankly, no!!
if you want command line, fdisk and mkfs do a superb job
gparted is a very nice GUI :-)
Well, the emergency prompt should have told you the reason: I can not mount "whatever".
yes, but AFAIK disk by UUID, very cryptic. I experienced this several times (but with swap being reformatted by an other install, UUID change)
Yes, UUID is "cryptic". It should also list label if present, maybe the bus. But at least prominently say "I expected a device to mount from fstab and I did not find it", then print the offending fstab line. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
