The box I've been reconfiguring over the past few weeks has a hardware
RAID controller card, with one mirrored (RAID 1) pair on it at the time
of installation. Over the weekend, I plugged two more drives into the
two empty sockets, to create a second mirrored pair, which shows up in
Linux as "sdb."
Initially, it auto-mounted much the same way the external drive
auto-mounted. I added this line to fstab, and now it mounts at the
mountpoint of my own choosing:
/dev/sdb /media/Auxiliary ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 2
Everything seems to work fine, except for two things:
1. Gnome produces a desktop icon for it. Before I added the fstab entry,
that icon was a picture of a modern hard drive; now, with the fstab
entry, it is, of all things, a generic *document* icon. (By contrast, my
USB external drive shows up with the "Merlin disk pack" icon I gave it
years ago, and I didn't have to do anything new for Linux that I hadn't
done for WinDoze; I've got both .ico and .png files of that icon on the
new mirrored pair.)
2. It can be unmounted. I'd rather it not be unmountable.
What can I do about these things?
