After much help on IRC in hte #debian channel, it now works. I had to ;= ls -l /media ...... which showed drwxr-xr-x 182 root root 12288 Dec 20 21:42 8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459
Then ........... chown root:boztu /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459 Then ............ chmod 775 /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459 And finally ...... ls -l /media ................ which showed drwxrwxr-x 182 root boztu 12288 Dec 20 21:42 8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459 Then to test it ........ mkdir /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459/test and "test" showed up in the directories of the relevant drive! And it now is loaded from fstab with this following line ;= /dev/sdb1 /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 Success! Thanks folks!
