So before I can update from wheezy, I'll have to find someplace that has sata cables that aren't that hot red color. If you have some red ones in your systems, order replacements that are any color but red, because you WILL replace the reds ones sooner or later, usually under 5 years later. Thats another way of saying I am not automounting 2 of the 3 drives in a hot swap cage. Now we're back on topic, sorta, but I'm no help. But I also have a very faded memory of doing something in /lib/udev/rules.d to stop that, but its much of a half decade back up the log and even then my short term memory was starting to get fuzzy. And I don't see an obviously out of date, newer version of anything disk related in /lib/udev/rules.d. That may not be where I putzed with it. Poor memory, the curse of the so-called golden years. What ever, it was interfering with the blkid based mounting in /etc/fstab. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
