OK. I'm with you so far. > The problem is that I've just acquired a USB keychain memory drive. If > that's the first device I plug in, it becomes sda1.

Why not just do something like: # ln -s /camera /keychain That way, you can either mount /camera or /keychain, which makes it easier for you to mentally track which device you are using (I imagine that is why you want a seperate mount point). This method requires no changes to fstab or anything else. The only downside is that you would not be able to mount both devices at the same time. > I don't mind if the scripts auto-mount the devices, as long as Mere > Mortal Users can umount them. > > Iain Georgeson > HTH, -Roberto ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
