- When we got our CubeRoute 1GB hard drive, it was automounting. We had the
- same problems as you. We had to add to our /etc/mtab file the following
- line:
-
- /dev/sd1a "/CubeRouteHardDrive" 4.3 rw,noquota 0 2
-
- sd1a is the CubeRoute drive (as an external drive). sd0a was our NeXTcube
- internal 330MB hard drive (as the boot drive).
-
- I don't really understand the options used for the sd1a drive , but I got
- them from the CubeRoute guy. Without this entry in /etc/mtab the external
- drive will automount as you described.
