I have an external USB drive which I want to be mounted automatically on boot when it is plugged in. With the current settings in fstab, mount will try to mount it even when it is not available, which produces a filesystem error. Is there an option for an fstab entry to declare that it should be mounted only when available? My current entry is as follows:
UUID=myawesomeid /media/usb1 ext3 rw,async,user,auto 0 2
user, auto
intentional? afair that is bad fstab syntax.
