I have an attached usb hdd which I use for backup's and I want it mounted in a specific place for various reasons, (lets say for arguments sake it has to be mounted at /mnt/passport1) I currently use fstab to mount it which works reasonably well but if the passport1 is not plugged in at boot then the boot sequence hangs telling me it's not there waiting for a response.
Is there a way to specify where to mount removable storage, the keyword being removable, so if its not there the computer will plod along regardless, but when I plug it in based on it's uuid it will always be mounted to the same location (of my choosing)
