Hi out there
I’m using a RPi 4 with a 4 Bay LC-Power docking Station (LC-Dock-U3-4B) and I am quite happy with it.
This setup is mainly used for backup and I swap the drives regularly with other drives that have been attached before. After power up l always use dietpi_drive-manager to (re)attach the drives and mount them to slightly edited path (E.g. \mnt\USB<drive_uid>). For a given drive these mount paths are always the same.
However /etc/fstab always gets cleaned and settings of removed drives are deleted from it.
I’d love to keep unattached drives in /etc/fstab and reuse the settings when reattaching a previously attached drives again. I would then only need to run dietpi_drive-manager for brand new drives.
How can i achieve this?
Thanks for reading, Emil
