Re: [opensuse] external disks "disapear" after unmount

True. My "problem" is especially with that MyBook, because that one is (was) always plugged on the back of the computer under the table, but as I use it as a backup drive, I want it to be unmounted when not backing up. This way - I think - I am also sure that nothing happens to it accidentally.

Now I must climb under the table to unplug/plug, instead of just clicking.

One solution for that could be (the old way of) a dedicated entry in /etc/fstab, with 'noauto,user' directive. Then you can (manually) mount/umount it as user, and it will stay available. And that is even easily scriptable :D -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
