Code:
fdisk -l /dev/sdb

works fine to show the following:
Code:
Disk /dev/sdb: 8086 MB, 8086618112 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 983 cylinders, total 15794176 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0004f327

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1              63    15791894     7895916   83  Linux

not beeing cheeky but typing as root just

Code:
blkid

it tells me

Code:
/dev/sda5: UUID="c95dabb2-85b9-4778-b9cb-8bd7727fd77a" TYPE="swap" 
/dev/sda1: UUID="71d40357-4318-4e08-a4f3-ab3f019c194f" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sdb1: UUID="641ea5c8-47d2-4473-ae01-6499d2f7ccba" TYPE="ext3"

I am sure that sda1 UUID="71d.." so on is my hdd on this laptop. That means sdb1 UUID="641..."
must be that usb-device.
So changing to /etc and typing
Code:
cat /fstab

brings me this,
Code:
root@rechenknecht2:/etc# cat fstab
# /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>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=71d40357-4318-4e08-a4f3-ab3f019c194f /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=c95dabb2-85b9-4778-b9cb-8bd7727fd77a none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/sr0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/sdb1       /media/usb0     auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

what was not supposed to be, that there is "noauto" for /media/usb0.
Well now I'll try to fetch how to change the fstab file.

---------- Post updated at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous update was at 09:07 PM ----------

Trying to do so, it did not work out. But my fstab is read like this below:
Code:
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=71d40357-4318-4e08-a4f3-ab3f019c194f /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=c95dabb2-85b9-4778-b9cb-8bd7727fd77a none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/sr0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/sdb1       /media/usb0     auto    rw,user,auto  0       0

So should I write it

Code:
/dev/sdb1      /media/usb0     auto     rw,user,auto  0       0
UUID=641ea5c8-47d2-4473-ae01-6499d2f7ccba                ext3

Well I did, but the error remains the same.

to be honest about wheezy and this change for the UUID of a device, that I still work on squeeze, although it is not state of the art, it makes me wonder how to remember any UUID for working with different mobile storages, any, would that mean to change for any machine the fstab for that very single UUID? Is that an enhancement?
