True. but the OP has said that his script detects that situation and automagically partitions and formats the new drive. In that case, it can add a label to the drive at the same time, and always put the SAME label on it so that fstab can find the "BAKUPDSK" drive regardless of device name, and mount it to BackupPC's required mountpoint. -- Jim Kyle mailto: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
