Yes, you can "label" partitions to identify them :-) Look: stt008:~# blkid|grep sdc /dev/sdc1: LABEL="PRUEBAS" UUID="F839-2B41" TYPE="vfat" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's my small USB flash drive (128 MiB) with just one partition on it that's labeled "PRUEBAS" and then I can mount it by issuing: sm01@stt008:~$ umount /media/PRUEBAS stt008:~# mount -L PRUEBAS /media stt008:~# mount|grep -i sdc /dev/sdc1 on /media type vfat (rw) How to give a label to a partition? I always make that step when formatting the drive but it can be done afterwards with "tune2fs" or "e2label" utilities (on ext2/3/4 based filesystems). Read man page for detailed info on how to use them :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
