If I'm not mistaken, the udev daemon (config @ /etc/udev/*) deals with the mounting conditions of dynamic nodes - that might be a place to start looking for answers. If you want to fix the mountpoint, make use of the /dev/disk/by-uuid/* values in fstab with "rw, noauto, user" options - it's a hack but should work - J _______________________________________________ NZLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.linux.net.nz/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nzlug
