Glad you found it funny.

I put lines in /etc/fstab that look like:
UUID=8CA476AAA4769684 /media/olaf01 ntfs ro,utf8
UUID=349A79B99A797866 /media/olaf02 ntfs ro,utf8
where those UUIDs come from dire /dev/disk/by-uuid/* or
/run/udev/data/b* but bear in mind that I only transfer file in one
direction. I don't mess with NTFS disks: if I want to move files,
I transfer them via a VFAT stick in the USB socket.
That way, if and when they get screwed up, the blame lies
firmly with M$.
(The mount points follow my convention of the disk's nickname
plus two digits for the partition numbers.)
For anyone following this thread, do they recognise those UUIDs?
The reason I ask is that I have two XP systems both with those
numbers, but I have no idea if the university installs new PC
OSes by cloning disks, or whether the UUIDs carry information
like 30E002E0454647 now does. (Until today, google didn't find
them; tomorrow it might.)
Cheers,
David.
