/dev/sda1     /media/sda1    auto    auto,umask=000,noatime,iocharset=utf8,codepage=932       0   0 <- such an example can't work ?

Re: [solved] mount usb drive

To manually mount them i do

sudo mount /dev/sde1 ~/kingston

ok but what happens if you have 2 different usb items that go back and forth between sde1 and sdf1/  I have a USB thumb and a USB external drvie that i plug in and out all the time.  How do i find out what there UUID is so i can mount specific drives to specific places. 

I have been doing just the manual and i am sick of it

Re: [solved] mount usb drive

you can find your drives' UUIDs with (for sde1) 'ls -l /dev/sde1' - the long string after the '->' will be the UUID. you can use awk/sed/whatever to cut it otu and pipe it into fstab, to save copy-pasting it or trying to write it out manually. something like "ls -l /dev/sde1 | awk '{print $4}' > /etc/fstab" would do it, where the $4 is the column number that has the UUID.

alternatively, solutions using HAL may be easier to manage. if you only have one or two drives, though, fstab should be fine.
