Mounting USB HDs the same every time.
I have 4 USB hard drives on my server in my basement. The power
went out the other night for about 30 seconds and when the server came
back online, most of my Samba shares where messed up. I figured out
what happened was that the drives were not initialized in the same order
as they were when I setup the shares. Now a drive that used to be
/media/usb0 was say /media/usb1.
So I have to go back and reconfigure my samba.conf file, not a huge
deal, but still a pia. Is there anyway to make it so that the drives
will always be named correctly upon rebooting of the server and
mounted? I think it needs to be done in fstab is that correct? The
other issue I have is that I always have to actually click on each drive
before it is able to be used by anyone else. Not sure why, but I don't
think the drives are getting mounted at bootup.
Thanks for the help.
