Hi Folks,

Just loaded SUSE interpreter 15.
I have a removable USB drive that I use to backup on a older SUSE 11.4 system.

What I noticed is that the USB uses a /run/media/root/652Fxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Very long description.
Every time I put in a new cartridge it changes.

In my older system I had a mount point of /dev/sdb1/Media/QuikStor_TB__ which would never change.
I had created in using the partitioner a formated each removable disk with this mount.

Would like all of the removable disks to be work the same.

Each disk represent a day mon-Fri.

How can I do this in SUSE 15?

Thanks for your help,

Jim

I use gparted and lable (some of) my stuff, it too can be done with fdisk I think, and perhaps a few other cli command programs, but putting a lable on it like, backup_disk or whatever then the lable will show up instead of all of the random numbering it gets if it does not have a lable.

Hi BW-Userx,

Thanks for your reply.

The commands gparted and lable don't seem to exists in SUSE 15 but the fdisk using the -l does.

But how do I use?

Thanks!

gparted can also be called parted (non-graphical) and the "label" command depends on the file system, used ON the USB stick (like e2label for ext2/3/4, fatlabel for a (v)fat fs, ntfslabel for ntfs, of course).

You can set where things should be mounted by creating a suitable mount point and editing /etc/fstab to get it used. I have this line in fstab:
That ensures that the usb device will be mounted in /media/usb (created with mkdir) and that its filing system will be automatically detected. If I were in the habit of using two usb sticks, I'd add a line for /dev/sdc1 and mount them on /media/usb1 and /med/usb2.

its a simple plug in usb stick, start gparted, select partition, right click on it, manage Lables, add name, click check mark,
though pluging in usb sticks and mounting them in fstab like posted is not a bad idea either.
