What does your /etc/fstab look like? Partition labels would help work around the problem for the regular disk partitions. However, it fails on trying to use the swap partition, for which it is not possible (AFAIK) to use partition labels. My external removable disk can be connected either as a Firewire disk or a USB disk. I was able to work around this problem by attaching the removable disk as a USB disk instead of a Firewire disk. When I used it as a USB disk, it showed up as /dev/sdb. Anyway, here is my fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda8 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ext3 noauto 0 3 /dev/sda9 /mnt/sda9 ext3 noauto 0 3 swap can be labelled too and has been by default since FC3. This is why we use labels instead of the device names as device names aren't at all guaranteed to be persistent (and we can't load the firewire modules later as they may be needed for driver disks or the like) |
