Hi, list! I've got two USB storage devices here, a Jump Drive and a floppy/superdisk drive. When plugged in by itself, the floppy drive becomes /dev/sda; the Jump Drive becomes /dev/sda1. When they are both plugged in together, whichever one was plugged in first gets /dev/sda(1), and the other becomes /dev/sdb(1). This behavior is expected and understood. What I'd like to know is whether or not it's possible to make the floppy drive, for example, *always* /dev/sdb, even if it's plugged in by itself. This would simplify life by allowing me to have /etc/fstab always know where the floppy drive is, make desktop icons, etc. Does anyone know how to do this? -- // Carl Hudkins :: Jabber [email protected] :: PGP 50238D9E // // ==] What would Jeeves do?
