Hi all I have an external usb-disk with 2 partitions. When inserting it, it assigns "random" mountpoints (i.e. /media/disk and /media/disk-1) to the partions. I would like to have fixed mount points. My first try was to edit /etc/fstab and add the 2 partitions. This works when the usb-disk is present. But it makes the machine failing to boot if the disk is not present. How can I perform the mount to a fixed mountpoint only when the disk is present? BTW I'm running FC5.
