1 USB storage issue
Block device where USB storage device will be attached depends on timing. The timing means indefinite. USB device was attached to /dev/sdc1 before reboot. USB device will be attached to /dev/sdd1 after reboot.
So USB storage needs UUID mount. UUID does not depends on timing. You can get UUID of USB device with blkid command.
2 blkid
The blkid commands output as below.
$ sudo blkid<device>: <uuid> <fstype>
Grep UUID of USB device attached to /dev/sdh1.
$ sudo blkid | grep “^/dev/sdh1:”/dev/sdh1: UUID=”e801fc70-a741-48da-b82d-d55b7668a573″ TYPE=”xfs”
3 /etc/fstab
Add UUID mount entry to /dev/fstab.
$ echo ‘UUID=”e801fc70-a741-48da-b82d-d55b7668a573″ /mnt xfs defaults 0 0’ | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
Now USB device can be mount automatically on boot.
