I thought about the possibility of changing fstab, but was hoping for an easier solution.  The link from Nils explaining how to label the partitions worked perfectly.  Thanks. <div class="gmail_quote"> 2009/2/19 <<a href="mailto:xubuntu-users-request@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users-request@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I have an idea. Maybe you could find UUID of partition on that usb drive and put its designation in /etc/fstab with appropriate path where you want it to mount :) Put usb in do df -h to figure out what is device for that usb do vol_id device_name put new line in /etc/fstab with path where to mount next time. I didn`t try it, but I think it could work :) Try ;) ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:27:15 +0100 From: Nils Kassube <<a href="mailto:kassube@gmx.net">kassube@gmx.net</a>> Subject: Re: [xubuntu-users] Designate automount location To: <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:200902181627.15434.kassube@gmx.net">200902181627.15434.kassube@gmx.net</a>> Content-Type: text/plain;  charset="iso-8859-15" dojero wrote: > I have a USB drive with two partitions.  When I attach the USB, both > partitions automatically mount...one becomes /media/disk and the other > becomes /media/disk-1.  But which becomes which changes each time I > connect the USB. Use labels for the partitions to mount them at "/media/<label>". See <<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive</a>>.
