1) Some of us are experts and everything gets automatic and smooth ;-)

Unfortunately I am among the 2nd ! ;-|

You missed "(3) some of us think we know what we're doing, so we mess with
fstab". The thing is, newbies usually get proper handling of external
drives, because they don't know enough to mess with fstab. Externals
should _not_ be in fstab, unless you really know what you're doing, because
we don't automount anything in fstab except at boot time.

Hi Derek
Thanks for your feedback and your pointer:
If understood correctly I do not need to have these external partition
listed in fstab !

I will try this. ;-)
Cheers, svobi
