Full Discussion: Hardlink on wheezy by default for usb-stick?
Operating Systems Linux Debian Hardlink on wheezy by default for usb-stick? Post 302944212 by 1in10 on Sunday 17th of May 2015 11:33:56 AM
Old 05-17-2015
Final words on mounting points and fstab, I am quitting any update for wheezy 7.0.8 for the simple reason, that after the last update, four days ago, not even now a former pluggable usb-drive will only work or not due to the lack of a mounting point. I doubt that this is useful, to give each and every device around, a certain line in /etc/fstab. So I will probably move to external devices, that are recognized without editing every time the fstab as root.
Found this on stackexchange, well, probably shame on me, but it won't change my point of view.
Code:
 apt-get install usbmount

as root, su.
Thumbs up.

May for others this link can be useful who may still want to use their OS, whatever this may be (mint, buntu, debian based) and who cannot get acquainted to systemd and its tricky behavior. So here is something that can put the fun in your sys, but getting rid of systemd.
Have fun.
