How to assing a fixed mount point ( sda1 , sdb1) by UUID

[XL640]

Hi,
I attached a USB Drive to my RUTX11 to stream Movies in my Campervan. This works fine. But when I reconnect the Drive, sometimes it changes his mount point from sda1 to sdb1. I think there must be a solution over the UUID of the drive to always attach the same mount point.

There ist an old Community Thread in google cache, but it isn’t accessible in the new Forum:

15.12.2022 — First, get UUID of storage device by running the command: block info. The example output is below: /dev/mtdblock5: UUID="5385a573-46532cb1 …

The block info command works as expected.

But what are the next steps.

Thanks in advance

Marc

Hello,

Add a line to /etc/fstab containing:

UUID=your-uuid /your-mount-point fstype options 0 0

mount -a to execute the mount.
