It's a firewire fat32 drive.... I gave it /home in fstab and mounted it.... can I give it it's own name besides something already taken? I just want a name for it like /firewaire... but that's not working.

Sure ...

mkdir /firewire

mount -t vfat <firewire drive> /firewire

and update your fstab accordingly.

You're right -- of course :) and fixed in an edit. This is what happens when I try to read mail and post on LQ simultaneously.
