Solution is simple.
1. Start SuSE plugger 2. Navigate to drive 3. Click on configure 4. unmount the drive partitions from a terminol 5. now use Yast to mount the drive where ever and call it whatever you want. 6. Reset NFS 7. exist yast 8. test NFS from another server. 9. done..:)
Sorry to pester....:)
Further testing indicates that this method does not survive a reboot with SuSE still assigning the USB drive to /media/usb-0x05e3-0x0702:0:0:0p4 and media/usb-0x05e3-0x0702:0:0:0p1 the two available partitions on the drive. Now checking /etc/fstab both directories and mount points are identified as per yast method described above eg: -------------------------------- /dev/sda4 /media/usb2 ext3 no,auto,user,rw,exec,sync 0 0 /dev/sda1 /media/usb1 vfat defaults 0 0 -------------------------------- Since these are identified as scsi drives (emulated) there must be something in automount process that by-passes the yast config hence mounting the drive partitions as /media/usb-0x05e3-0x0702:0:0:0p4 Any clues...?? /ch
