blkid:

/dev/sda1: UUID="b8530727-3273-4932-8399-22846c74aa52"		  
/dev/sdc1: UUID="0011-EDB0"									  
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="BA" UUID="4a172e28-6f29-4d79-b941-e781ff9dc090"
/dev/sdd1: UUID="28270a98-ec79-448c-bba3-b9e75fff7add"

So I change /etc/fstab:

rootfs			   /					auto	   defaults			  1  1
proc				 /proc				proc	   defaults			  0  0
devpts			   /dev/pts			 devpts	 mode=0620,gid=5	   0  0
usbfs				/proc/bus/usb		usbfs	  defaults			  0  0
/dev/mtdblock2 /boot jffs2 defaults 0 0
tmpfs				/var/volatile		tmpfs	  defaults			  0  0
UUID=b8530727-3273-4932-8399-22846c74aa52 /media/hdd auto defaults 0 0
UUID=4a172e28-6f29-4d79-b941-e781ff9dc090 /media/usb auto defaults 0 0
UUID=0011-EDB0	 /media/usb2 auto defaults 0 0
UUID=28270a98-ec79-448c-bba3-b9e75fff7add /media/hdd2 auto defaults 0 0

Is this possible or do I need to use sda1, sdb1 etc.?

yes, you can use the UUID in the fstab

[Alex_NL]

Add a line with "UUID=xxxx" or "LABEL=xxx" in /etc/fstab, to tell the system which should be mounted where. You only need to specify one (and yes, you can use this to give your USB sticks interesting names). The "blkid" command will tell you what's currently present. You'll have to google for the details...

Here's an example:

UUID=2d75f177-39db-49e4-88e5-f223a9abd1df	/media/hdd	   auto	defaults   0	   0

You can replace "auto" with the filesystem type of the disk (probably ext4), etcetera.

I am not sure which filesystem the disk are using. How can I see that?

[MiLo]

When unsure, just leave it "auto" and the box will figure it out.

If you type "mount" it will show you what the end-result was.

may i know how to mount usb hdd ??

[MiLo]

Just plug it in. That's it.

[RamsesII]

What line and where (/etc/fstab ?) should I put to make my external eSata drive to work as /media/hdd and it's /media/hdd/movie folder to work as default movie folder? It already has a lot of movies in it, I just want to mount it right.

Is the default movie location also in some configuration file that can be manually edited, or should it be done with remote controller?
