Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Jan 04


# /dev/sda1

The above line in /etc/fstab is a comment whereas the UUID is a Universal
ID number. The comment was created when you installed Ubuntu; when you only
had one drive.

You can edit the comment to reflect the newly designated device name if you
want to avoid confusion in the future.

I put an entry on my LUG site this morning concerning the UUID. You can
read it here:

http://hllug.org/index.php?topic=LinuxTips

Type "df" in a terminal to determine what the device name is of the mounted
drives.

$ df

You can use gparted to determine the partition names of the new drive and
mount it accordingly. For example if the new drive is denoted as
"/dev/sda1", your fstab entry might look like:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/somename ext3 rw,auto,exec,user 0 2

You will need to create the directory under mount.

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/somename
$ sudo chown yourhome:yourgroup /mnt/somename

After you make the fstab entry and create the directory try mounting the
drive manually. Then try to create directories and copy files. If all is
OK, then the next time you boot-up, the new partition will be automaticly
mounted for you.

$ mount /mnt/somename
