Duplicate USB drive mounts
OK, so it's not exactly duplicate drive mounts, but it's hard to describe. I have 4 500gb external drives, 2 of them are USB and 2 of them are eSATA. When I first installed the eSATA drives, I had a lot of trouble getting the drives to mount in the correct locations, so I changed my fstab to look like this:
Music1 and Music2 are the USB, 3/4 are the eSATA. When I rebooted, I had 4 'drive' icons on my desktop. If they had been one for each drive, that would have been fine, but instead, I was presented with Music1, Music1(2), Music2, Music2(2). These extra drives also show up in file dialogs and such. I imagine that both the usb automount and the fstab are both mounting the drive in the same place, but I'm not sure. Music1(2) is the same as Music1, so there's no need for two icons. Mount shows the following:Code:LABEL=Music2 /media/Music2 ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 LABEL=Music4 /media/Music4 ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 LABEL=Music1 /media/Music1 ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 LABEL=Music3 /media/Music3 ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
...so there's not two actual mount points. Any ideas? TIA. Note: this is suse 10.2.Code:/dev/sde1 on /media/Music2 type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/sdc1 on /media/Music4 type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/sdf1 on /media/Music1 type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/sdd1 on /media/Music3 type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
