Hi, igot as far as my computer understanding the pen drive, but the thing is it changes it's path each time i put it in the USB then unplugg it, first it's /dev/sda then /dev/sdb then dev/sdc
kinda sucks cause i always have to change the /etc/fstab so it will recognize it..
How can i make it so i don't have to manually make it read it
Do you unmount the drive before unplugging it?
I can't think of a good reason why it (the hot-plug
system) shouldn't notice the drive going away
other than the kernel assuming it's still there.
That makes it a do-it-yourself problem, I guess ...
And the solution is quite obvious...
a) manually unmount before removing.
b) write a script that interacts with the hot-plug
system and forcefully unmounts it when it's
gone ... but really, just pulling it is bad practice.
