I'd recommend automount. I think it is installed by default. Have a look at /etc/auto.misc Just add an entry like foobar -mountoptions :/dev/disk/by-label/foobar which would mount your device as /misc/foobar Also check /etc/auto.master and man {autofs,automount,auto.master} Don't forget to chkconfig autofs on Brgds -- Freundliche Gruesse/Best Regards Benjamin Hackl IT/Administration Media FOCUS Research Ges.m.b.H.
