I messed up the other day when I did a rsync backup to my usb external drive *but* forgot to mount it (turn it on). So the system appears to have renamed the correct one (external) to usbdrive1 and created a directory on the HD, usbdrive. It has been well over a year since I made that error and have forgotten the location and name of the table that contains the usbdrive and usbdrive1 entries. As I recall, I need to edit the table by removing the usbdrive entry and renaming usbdrive1 to usbdrive. Guidance is welcomed....
