I have a partition in /dev/sda6 which is manually mounted to my user
directory ~/work every time when I start the x window. Is following
command correct to add /dev/sda6 in to the fstab?
/dev/sda6 /hom/mycount/work ext3 0 0
Thank you.

You're missing the "options" field. Try this, where $YOU is your

Quite the opposite. udev was conceived because Linux specifically
does *not* guarantee /dev stability. It's also why UUID= & LABEL=
now litter /etc/fstab instead of /dev/sd[a-j]N.

The sda6 is actually a harddisk partition (not for usb stick). kernel
should have no problem to see it.
Thanks Ron.

You might want to search through the archives for all those cases were
the device name *should* have stayed the same

Is this your only internal (including optical) SATA drive? Maybe
your CD/DVD drive is IDE?

I am not clear the internal hardware structure, it is an Acer ASPIRE
5920 laptop.
I added a line of "/dev/sda6 /hom/project/work ext3
defaults,noauto,user=project 0 0" to the fstab, but it was actually
not working, there was an error of "bad line in fstab" during boot
(the user is project). Was it the problem as you concerned that kernel
could not see it?
Thank you.

This should help:
$ lspci | grep AHCI
A little Googling shows that it has a SATA HDD.

See it? No. But, rather, that Linux does not "hard code" SCSI
devices. So, if you have multiple SATA, USB or FireWire devices,
what today is sda might, the next time you boot, be sdb.
Of course course, if you only have 1 SATA device, this all becomes moot.

On Mon, 7 Jul 2008, hce engaged keyboard and shared this with us all:
>--} /hom/project/work ext3
Silly question but is the above correct or should that be:
/home/project/work ext3
Probably not?
