Re: External drive in PCLOS
Actually that's very weird.
USB storage devices should not require any kind of fstab entry in any modern Linux distro.
udevd, hald and hotplug should handle detection and automounting on the fly placing the symlink to the drive in either the /media or /mnt or /local directories depending on which particular distro you are running.
Try removing the fstab entry again, rebooting (always reboot after any modification of fstab) and then looking for the drive in one of the three directories I mentioned above.
The disadavantage to having an fstab entry in this case is that the drive is not hot swappable or pluggable. |
