If I have to edit fstab, it is not "recognizing" it.
edit FSTAB EACH time, because it might not always go into the same port on the usb hub. and I want to use that hub for other storage too.
winblows just recognizes it and mounts it. Don't we claim linux is better then winblows? not here it isn't.
You can use UUID for the fstab. Use the command `blkid /dev/sdc` (or whatever device it currently is) to find out them. Then you can write in fstab something like `UUID="xxxxx" /mnt/wherever`. The UUID is determined only by the superblock of the filesystem. As long as you do not re-format the drive, the UUID remains the same. Best regards, tusooa
