After boot this morning I switched on the power on the external, usb drive
adapter and an icon appeared on the desktop screen. I clicked on "Mount" and
got:
/dev/sdd1 on /run/media/bobg/a3cd7e7f-254d-410a-b120-e02524f75a29 type ext4
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks2)
So the command 'e2label /dev/sdd1 st1000' makes it possible to add another
device, it doesn't change the name. What did I miss in setting up the
external drive initially?
IIRC, yesterday you were labelling /dev/sde1, not sdd1.
Did it get enumerated differently today?
If the system consistently mounts the drive to a specific
location (ex /run/media/bobg/<UUID> you could make a
symbolic link to the mount point in your homedir,
say /home/bobg/extdisc. If the drive is mounted you
have an easy to use path to it. Otherwise it will
just be a broken link, no problem.
