What steps are needed to ensure that a particular USB external HDD is
always mounted on a different mountpoint than /media/<VolLabel> and
one particular non-root user gets rw access to that drive.
The 2TB drive has a NTFS partition with about 200GB of data in it. So
formatting is out of question. It will be connected to other Widows
(XP/7/2k3/2k8) machines.
How about using autofs? I'd write a script for autofs which would
check, say the UUID, and then automatically mount it.
However, one thing I wouldn't know is whether this would supercede
the current (udev based) automounting feature; my experience is that
it works well.
Should you need some information on autfs scripts, please let me know.
