head_victimblahdeblah & other Brisbanites : just thought I'd let you know I went into to humbug yesterday afternoon for the first time ever. I wasn't there long really only went to drop off the CDs for use in O week this week at the uni. I have given them a bit of an intro to what we are and what we do and they were even willing to put the team business cards into the CD sleeves. They are interested in collaboration with other Unix/Linux grou02:05
head_victimps in the area as well so I was thinking we should organise a Ubuntu-AU envoy there one meeting and give a short presentation on who we are and what we do and how best to work together.02:05
Phlostenan envoy? sounds all UN like02:09
head_victimPhlosten: Heh well before I went there last night their previous efforts were directed towards a previous team member who didn't really offer much assistance.02:11
gggsmy fat32 partition seems to change its name every time I reboot, breaking my symlinks, any way to stop it?03:42
dns53you mounting it by uuid or device name?03:44
gggsgnome (auto); I just select `85GB filesystem' and it mounts03:47
gggsshould I add it to /etc/fstab ?03:49
dns53probably, use blkid to find a uuid and use that to mount your partition03:52
gggsif it's already mounted, can I take the mount config & give it a permanent descriptor?04:02
dns53well you just add another entry to your /ect/fstab,       UUID=b8c1b682-1acf-4403-be2b-de549ea14f03 /mountpoint vfat defaults 0 0    and that should automatically mount it on boot04:20
gggsoh thanks, I'm reading through the fstab manpage now04:23
gggsmust've been an issue with a changing label & therefore different mountpoints04:24
dns53well you could use LABEL=xxxx instead but uuid works better as it is more likely to be unique04:25
gggswould the UUID change if I resized the partition?04:26
dns53it would04:26
gggsah, then that'd be why04:29
gggsnice, mounted to the right place! one last question on fstab, my mount options are "rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush", do I need the uhelper/flush/* options04:41
gggsseems rather complex for an old & simple fs like FAT04:44
dns53well you are setting the user id and file permissions, you might not need the flush options04:47
gggsmount manpage says flush `will try to flush the disk more early than normal' (?), nothing in there about nodev, uhelper, or shortname04:51
dns53shortname is a vfat option, originally you could only have 8 + 3 character file names so they added 255 character file names to windows 95, probably not needed as an option as it should be the default04:57
dns53flush suggests not to buffer things into memory, probably safer but if you shut down things normally it does not matter04:59
gggsok, thanks05:06
