I have a similar setup where I mount about 40-odd USB drives to a server on a regular basis. They each have their own mount points in /mnt/usb-hdd/xxxxxxxxxx and irrespective of which drive I connect to which USB port, or on which order, they all get mounted where they're supposed to :) -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
