That's how I originally had it in fstab, the problem there is, it will mount fine to /media/DEVNAME on boot but if I were to un-plug it and plug it back in, it then mounts to /media/DEVNAME_ which causes some problems with my shortcut links etc.

Really it's a non-problem. I can just open thunar and click the drive and it will mount properly, I was just hoping there was some command I could run in autostart that would do the same. Thanks

New to #!, I'm having a very very minor issue.

I have a USB HDD that auto mounts normally when inserted, however if I leave the drive plugged in and reboot (i.e. it is plugged in before I power up). The device does not mount. It does eventually mount if I go to it from the thunar side bar, but it is not in its mount point prior to that.

Is there something I can stick in autostart to make it "refresh" itself and mount as if it were just plugged in? I've tried 'lsusb' to no effect.

I can stick it in fstab or have another script mount it but then that mount point is committed to my device's name and if I were to unplug it and re-plug it in, triggering the normal automount, it gets mounted to NAME_ instead of just NAME. This leads to some problems with shortcut locations, etc.

All in all, its a VERY minor problem.

Any thoughts? Am I just missing something big?

Just wanted to say I installed #! and ditched my Ubuntu 12.04LTS partition over the weekend.

It's been a long time since I liked a linux distro this much. It's exactly what it claims to be, lightweight and fast. But, since its debian based it's not totally foreign and I can still customize a lot.

The out of the box software suite was great and well put together. I swapped Transmission for Deluge and gFTP for Filezilla though, but that's a personal preference.

Anyway, I'm happy to have converted! I knew something was wrong with Ubuntu when it was taking -minutes- longer to boot than my XP partition.

Thanks for producing this distro!
