Be sure to put a timeout in that loop lest it hang forever if that external device is absent.
Yes, I have added the following:
for (( times = 1; times < 120; times++ )); do echo Wait for /dev/sdb1 $times if [ -b /dev/sdb1 ]; then break; fi sleep 1 done
I should perhaps add some more lines that comments out the /dev/sdb1 line from fstab if the drive doesn't show up in 120 secs.
