Hi,
What's the right entry in my /etc/fstab file on Fedora 17 to cause an
external USB drive to always be mounted on the same mount point, and not
in /media? But, when the USB drive is absent I don't want a boot of the
system to hang until the drive returns, which is what happens now.
This is the entry I tried:
UUID=blah-blah-blah /backup/sys1 ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0
The UUID is actually 8777c8cd-1860-4b21-8d97-a13abade4f49 but that
would make the above line too long.
Thanks....

Well, if the device is automounted when connected, then you're going to
be fighting with more than /etc/fstab. You will also need to take a
look at the files under /etc/udev.d.

Add "noauto" to the list of comma-separated mount options and leave the
two numerals - for dump and fsck - at the end of the record at "0". The
system will then not even complain if you boot up without the device
attached.

It will be mounted on demand, with manual or scripted intervention to do
