Where should it be mounted in yast

Also what are some examples of mounting in Yast when you have the option of mounting an External Hardrive

Hi, what file system are you using on the external drive? You can just make the respective mount point if you may:

as root obviously. Then you mount the drive like this:

replace <fs> with the file system type and also replace the 1 on /dev/sda1 with the actual partition number. If you want a perminent mount point for your /etc/fstan then I suggest you tell me the fs type and I can tell you how to do it.

What connection does it use (USB/Firewire)? Usually the mounting of external devices is done by submount in 9.1. This creates a mountpoint in /media. I guess you need to switch-off submount, if you would like to mount as suggested above.

When I connect my USB/firewire 160 GB Maxtor Hardrive, SUSE mounts it automatically.
Look inside the /media folder.

It uses the usb port and is a Maxtor 120GB External Hardrive also here is my fstab
also reiserfs is the filesystem on it and vfat is my memory key which also uses usb

/dev/hda7 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hda2 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0

/dev/hda5 /mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native reiserfs auto,acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

/dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage-Y3KQ3YTE:0:0:0p1 vfat noauto,users 0 0

Well it is mounted

but Suse is mounting them on the same mount points, remove the your usb key then go to the directory /media/usb-storage-Y3KQ3YTE:0:0:0p1<-- that's where it has been mounted.

Then mount it to what
