Title: automount usb
Post by: ElFroggio on October 12, 2014, 06:26:12 AM

Hi,

I just installed SME9 and was under the impression that it would automount a sub drive after the boot. It doesn't.

How can make it so it will automount the USB drive?

Thanks

Syv

I did see that, but nowhere (almost) does it mention mounting of USB drives. So I ignored it. Does this mean that if I add to fstab

Code: [Select]

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbdisk ext3 usrquota,grpquota 1 2

I thought that I do not always get the /dev/sdbx for the USB.

Thanks

Take a look at the USB disk Howto & read about using Labels.
PLEASE read the Howtos as many questions are already answered.
