/etc/fstab versus Image/Device manager to mount a usb disk - what difference ?

[fced]

Hello
I need to mount at boot my usb disk to make it work with meoboot...
i can add lines in /etc/fstab or create the mounting points in BH device manager...
What is the difference within this 2 methods ?
i was thinking it the same but when i mount my usb disk accross /fstab, mounting points aren't seen in BH Device manager...
Help please... my usb disk isn't mounted at meoboot choice image screen...

Use BH Device Manager to mount correctly your USB devices and after this operation, MeoBoot can detect the device.

follow the angelofsky1980 suggestion it is the user friendly one
(i'm using the /etc/fstab mount for my devices for have always the same mountpoint for any connected usb device, and the bh device manager report they correctly: for sure you wrong something)

some examples:

/dev/disk/by-uuid/my.ext3.dev.uuid /media/mountpoint ext3 defaults 0 0 #for ext3 devices
/dev/disk/by-uuid/my.fat.dev.uuid /media/mountpoint vfat defaults 0 0   #for fat devices
/dev/disk/by-uuid/swap.partition.uuid swap swap defaults 0 0 #for swap partition
