Changing removable HDD mount point (not /dev name)
 
Hi,

Using FC5.

I have an external USB HDD and its volume label was name "My Book" when I bought it. It mounted under /media/My Book when I plugged it in.

I used WinXP "label" command and mlabel command to rename it to "MyBook" but now it mounts under /media/MYBOOK. How can I make it mount under /media/MyBook?

Thanks for your help.

You can create the mountpoint MyBook and mount it manually, or edit you /etc/fstab file to mount it to MyBook. I suspect you already know how to create a directory, but just in case,
Code:

mkdir /media/MyBook
but you probably need to be root, or use sudo.
