I have never run Suse, but if I look at /etc/fstab in my Ubuntu I see a couple of lines: # /dev/sda1 UUID=35148e2b-3719-4ccf-a1f5-e08491f76871 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
I have used UUID to have USB drives be mounted in the right places. If you have similar in your /etc/fstab, I would try (for this example) replacing the UUID.=3... with /dev/sda1 . Save a backup of course, and have an emergency cd ready in case this turns out to be bad advice. Good Luck -- Patrick Timlick On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 9:21 PM, Wayne E.
