    Hi all, just quick question. I have kali linux installed on a computer , and I have samba installed and pointing to a folder. So I can copy files from windows to linux.

    The problem is when I boot up Kali linux the name of the HDD is allways different

    eg : media/627A8BOB7A8ADAE5

    is there a way to have the HDD named the same with every boot up.#

    Thanks

    You should be able to add a 'Label' or name to the partition you are mounting.

    In Linux you would use

    e2label /dev/sdXY NewName

    The auto mount point should then use the Label and not the UUID of the partition.

    mkdir /media/mydisk1
    umount /dev/sdan
    mount /dev/sdan /media/mydisk1

    Use the fstab to automount on boot:

    Do you actually have it installed or are you using a LiveCD or LiveUSB? If you dont have persistent storage configured any changes you make will be returned to default when you reboot.

    How did you install it? Whats it installed on?
