Mount a new flash drive as /home/me

[jackokring]

Yep, it all went well with the modified /etc/fstab apart from needing the exec option. This took some time to figure. The fstab ende up looking like the following. The main home directory of the user was copied, and the the fstab was edited, and then the old home content was deleted beore a mount, before a reboot. Magic, I've now got extra space and an instant home unplug.

Code: Select all

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
