Thank you - I will try this now. One thing I am understanding though is that part of the command is a unique identifier for this particular external USB:

Code:

/dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x50014ee00419ce97-part1

I just copied and pasted it from the other discussion, hence I think that this is the unique ID for the other posters drive, would that be correct?

I searched and found this command to try discover the IDs of my drives:

Code:

ls -lha /dev/disk/by-uuid

This was the output:

Code:

$ ls -lha /dev/disk/by-uuid
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 100 Aug 31 20:18 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 160 Aug 31 20:18 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  15 Aug 31 10:26 9f295487-f64c-434d-b7c1-78a4262fc5e9 -> ../../nvme0n1p2

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  10 Aug 31 20:18 e7b8530e-a74e-4e57-ad92-270edc94018e -> ../../sda1

If I unplug the drive, this id disappears so I am guessing it is that:

Code:

B325-6B3A

So I make a new directory at /media/Library

and then add this line at the bottom of fstab?

Code:

/dev/disk/by-id/B325-6B3A /media/Library/1TB_MEDIA/ ext4 defaults 0 0

Ah, I saw the other command you recommended and get this output:

Code:

It is the portable SSD, but which is the correct ID - with the part1 or without?
