How does one handle /dev/sda5 (the swap partition) in a situation like this one, i.e. when one is not sure in which order the USB drives will be detected? /dev/sda5 does not have a UUID listed, so how can one mount the swap partition? Also, what is the purpose of the /media/usb0 and /media/usb1 mount points? Gordon -- Gordon Farquharson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
