Topic: Automount USB disk

How do you automount a usbdisk after reboot?

[Helgo]

Go to etc/mtab and set something like this


/dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk/what you want

Hi,
I guess you made a typo Helgo.
The /etc/mtab file does only reflect the currently mounted filesystems.
This file is being used by the umount "command" and updated by both "mount" and "umount" commands.

The place to indicate where you want FS to be automatically mounted at boot time is /etc/fstab
