fixed mountpoint USB disk if present

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
