My removable HD use to be /mnt/removable but has now taken over the /mnt/win_c3 mount for some reason. They work fine but they seemed to have magically swapped paths.

How can I remount these drives to the appropriate path?

Thanks guys!!

Greg

Do you have auto-mounting configured? If so, have you checked the automount paths? Check /etc/auto.master to get a rough sense of whether anything is automounted. It may refer to other config files which you can check too.

Is your fstab correct?

Sorry for the delayed response, I've been out of town.

I don't see any /etc/auto.master file. Auto mounting seems to be on. If I attach a USB CF Card it seems to find it much like the Windoze plug & play, but that's all I know.

I pasted the contents of my fstab file below. As you can see I now have a /mnt/removable, /mnt/removable2 and /mtn/removable3 for the same external HD. I turned the HD off and on and my problem seemed to dissapear - - the drive found its original /mnt/removable path. But when I tried this again later it just started showing up as removable2, and then later removable3.

I'm a little reluctant to just delete these paths in the fstab. What do you think?

(BTW, I'm using Mandrake 10 and KDE 3.2).

I greatly appreciate your feedback,
Greg

OK, that seems to have your answer -- note the line specifying removable /dev/sda1 is to be mount on /mnt/win_c3. You can change /mnt/win_c3 to something else and it should work fine (save a backup copy of /etc/fstab just in case).

Ahhhh okay, thanks a lot. I went ahead an also removed the lines refering to the removable2 and removable3 since they aren't needed, but they are still mounted in /mnt.

Do I just use : ??????


Again, much thanks
Greg
