I have three hard disks in my PC , hda is used for /, /home, /boot and swap. Everything seems to setup fine here
I then have partitions sdb1 and sdc1
On the edit partion options for these hard drives I can set the mount point. I have never seen this before with the other distros I have used and usually have to mess around with fstab after install to mount these disks, so was pleased to see this option.
Under my previous install (Debian, which I didn't use for long) I had these drives mounted under /media/store1 and /media/store2
This is reflected in the "Edit Parition: /dev/s***" options where the "Original File System Label" is shown as store1 and store2 for each disk
However I decided I wanted to mount them under /media/sdb1 and /media/sdc1
So the "Edit Partion: /dev/s***" ended up looking like this
Mount Point /media/s***
Original File System Label store*
Cannot be changed
Format as not selected
Resize not selected
Encrypt not selected
Everything installs great. However when I log in I see both drives on my desktop labelled as store1 and store2. I expected they would be labelled as /dev/s***
Furthermore when I go the properties for these disks and select Permissions it says;
'The permissions of "s***" cannot be determined'
However I am able to view the contents and deleted files.
It seems to me something has gone wrong with mounting of these disks during installation, only I'm not sure what or how to make sure everything is OK
fstab for current installation:

I dont have the fstab from the debian install as it was installed for literally 10 mins. However I had Fedora 10 KDE4 installed previous to that, here is the fstab from that install showing the changes I had to make at the bottom to mount these drives:

Another point of interest, I don't recall seeing the same Edit Parition options when installing Fedora 10 KDE...
Linear Mode
