From then on my memories are a bit foggy but I think I remember wondering why was PYDSM displaying my original NTFS partition as sdb instead of usual sda.
Because PySDM, mountmanager, disk manager, whatever else is out there left the building before the memo got out about using UUID's instead of /dev/sdxy.
I would suggest using templates instead. For ntfs:
Code:
UUID=DA9056C19056A3B3 /media/WinD ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=000,uid=1000,windows_names 0 0
For ext4:
Code:
UUID=076426af-cbc5-4966-8cd4-af0f5c879646 /media/Data ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
** To find the correct UUID for your partitions:
Code:
sudo blkid -c /dev/null
** You will have to create the mount point yourself, for example:
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/WinD
** Then add the template with the correct UUID and mount point to fstab:
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/fstab
** And when you are done editing fstab and saving it run the following command to test for errors and mount the partitions without requiring a reboot. You will know before you reboot if something is amiss. :
If there are no errors it just comes back to the prompt.
It's a lot easier and as you have found out a lot safer to do it this way and you don't end up cluttering fstab with a lot of useless ( user ) or absurd ( users ) mount options in fstab.
But this is just my opinion
