however, I don't remember exactly how to name it :-(
The YasT Partition Editor can do it.
As it stands, /media/disk doesn't exist until I plug in the external disk. That is what yast chose as a mount point when I formatted it (it had ntfs to begin with). Is what you are saying to create a permanent directory called <name> under the /media directory? Confused.
My main concern is that the mount point will always be the same every time I plug it in. In my case /media/disk Or will it change depending upon what else is plugged in? I need to write a script to rsync to it and so need to have a fixed mount point.
Cheers, Steve.
Start up YaST Partition er, high-lite the partition, click on edit, click on fstab options, select mount by Volume Name and supply a name and use a specific mount point. Save the changes and now when the partition is mounted it will always be mounted to the same mount. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
