Subject: Automount USB Drive using Volume Name as Mount Point
Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2007 14:46:17 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <918171.95307.qm@web35503.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)
I'm not sure if this question is an autofs question or perhaps for some other software component.
I have a couple of external USB hard drives with NTFS partitions each with different volume names eg HDD1 and HDD2
If I connect these one at a time they both come up as /dev/sde and I have an autofs entry like
usb -fstype=ntfs-3g :/dev/sde1
This mounts one drive as /misc/usb
This works fine except it would be ideal if each drive actually mounted as
/misc/HDD1 and /misc/HDD2 so that scripts can more easily differentiate the disks
If I log in using Gnome then this seems to have no problem mounting each drive and placing an icon on the desktop using the volume label. However, I almost never use Gnome and the machine in question is a server.
