Re: mounting external hard drive at boot up

["Star Liu" <minxinjianxin@gmail.com>]

about How do I mount it then at boot up, I myself have an example, I mount a windows patition to debian automatically,  /etc/X11/Xsession.d/95StarHabits is a file created by myself, you can name it anyway starting with "95"

1. use Windows NTFS patitions (for lenny only)
   1. exe "i ntfs-3g"
   2. make a directory for the patition to mount, eg:/Windows/Storage
   3. exe "mount /dev/sda3 /Windows/Storage -t ntfs-3g"
   4. then the content of the patition pops out
   5. we can add this line "mount /dev/sda3 /Windows/Storage -t ntfs-3g" to file "/etc/X11/Xsession.d/95StarHabits", so that the harddisk will mount automatically when x window start

Hi,

i have a card reader in my computer, but want to mount my external hard
drive at boot-up.
Sometimes the external hard drive is on /dev/sdb or /dev/sdf...

So what is the best way to:
- either make it only use one of these paths?
- Tell which one it is on and if it is the external hard drive?
- How do I mount it then at boot up?

Thanks for any help,
