/dev/sdx question
Hi there,
I'm using Debian here. A few days ago I added my external hard disk to /etc/fstab so it would autommaticly mount when it was connected. By that time, it was /dev/sda1 However, now I have a small problem. Everytime I connect my USB PenDisk and I have the external hard disk disconnected, the USB PenDisk gets the address /dev/sda1, which is in /etc/fstab to autommaticly mount under my external hard disk directory. So evertytime I connect my pen drive, it just mounts it on my external HD directory. I just wanted to know if there is anyway to reserve /dev/sda1 to my external disk, so I could connect my pendrive and Linux detect that /dev/sda1 will always be to my external disk, so give another address to my pen drive (sdb, or sdc, etc...) Because now, if I want to connect my pendisk, I have to: a) connect my external hard disk so it gets the address /dev/sda1 b) connect my pen to acquire address /dev/sdb1. As you can see, it is really annoying. I want /dev/sda1 reserved to my external disk, even if it is not connected! Thanks in advance for your replies. |
This sounds like a job for udev.
