Ubuntu - How to automount an external drive at a preconfigured mount point?
- by Lars Haugseth
Normally, when I attach an external USB drive to my Ubuntu system, the filesystem on it are automounted to /media/label. However, I'd like the filesystem to be mounted at a mount point of my choosing. I've added a line like this to my /etc/fstab:
UUID=2BE905C238C1F724 /p ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 # Passport 320GB
This allows me to manually mount the volume at /p by running sudo mount /p, however the filesystem is no longer automounted when the drive is attached to the PC. What do I need to do to get automount to this mount point to work, if at all possible?
