Hi, Due to a hardware failure I have bought a new external harddisk. I gave this disk the same volume name as the one it replaces. This is convenient for me, because I use the automatically generated mountpoint in some scripts [1].
However when I mount the new disk it gets a suffix appended to it volume name (/media/mydisk-1 instead of just /media/mydisk). I presume the UUID of the old disk with the same volume label is retained somewhere causing the system to append the suffix in order to generate a unique name. Could someone tell me how to get rid of this? I did some searching under /etc and with Google, but my Google-foo must be lacking. [1] I know I could list it in fstab by UUID and explicitly assign a mountpoint, but then I would have to do that on multiple systems.
