Tech Notes - external drive settings in fstab

I’ve had to research and make 2 manual entries in my fstab file to handle 2 add-on drives. Here are the strings for those additions. This relates to an openSUSE 11.1 system.

Second internal hard drive

For the add-on internal drive, here are the settings

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3300631AS_5NF0HAPQ-part1 /home/familyshared                 ext3       acl,user_xattr        1 2

External USB drive

For the external USB drive, it was more difficult. I needed to get it to give all the logins full rights to the whole drive contents. Here’s how that seemed to finally work.

/dev/disk/by-id/usb-TOSHIBA_External_HDD_0010101A40998A5D0-0:1-part1 /home/disktoshiba  vfat       users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 1 2
