OK - this is probably going to be confusing .. not thought how to write
latest update to OoZooN (and therefore I assume all other cvs images)
there is a new menu entry
menu|setup|system|storage devices
supposedly there to make things easier to setup devices. (hmmm ....)
I had setup fstab as normal, with my hdd - but it wasn't in that menu and /media/hdd did not exist)
then set it up using the menu - it makes an entry in the /etc/enigma2/settings file and creates /media/hdd
the entry is based on the uuid of the device
there are a load of extra entries now in the settings file!
not yet sure if fstab is now used (and I have to ask - if not, why not)

I would like it if 'they' told us about the changes - it makes updating difficult.
not sure I like the changes!

Latest oozoon is still using the same old kernel, but has newest enigma. I would wait for the new kernel releases.

this is going to cause problems for a while
if you have backed up your settings (and bouquets) using dreamboxedit (or even a normal backup)
a restore will restore the OLD settings file - which won't have the new device info!

I normally move any older backups to another directory, leaving only the latest one in place. This means it can only install that one on restore.
