And name too. With =20 > this name your device will apear in /dev. And of course mkfir /media/=20= > name I hope you won't be offended, but this seems a whole load more complex =20= than the OP's single line in /etc/fstab, which really ought to work. Of course /etc/fstab is no good if the drive's going to be plugged & =20 unplugged at whim throughout the day - I know there are better ways to =20= do that - but I would be bothered, myself, why something's not working =20= as it _so obviously_ ought to. Mark: yes, I don't see any reason NOT to address by label (e2label or =20= whatever XFS / Reiser use) these days. The only thing I can think of =20 is that your USB drivers or the kernel module that does USB mass-=20 storage is not loaded in time during boot. Aren't there any messages =20 about failed mounts amongst the kernel messages on the screen? Stroller.=
