[ale] Mount extra partition under the /media subdirectory at boot

[Tom Freeman]

With appologies to one and all. This is documented somewhere in my old 
notes which are somewhere in a big home cleanup initiated by adult 
children who think their old man needs more than all the help he can get. 
Well, the children are probably right. But the main machine for the house 
died dead, and I need it working with the old files.

Of course, if there is a better way to do this...

Essentially, in the past I have used a dirt standard install (Fedora in 
the past, Centos this time), with the children's accounts created on 
/home, which is it's own partition. Since I also host several GB of family 
pictures and such, for use by said children and myself, I created a large 
partition which mounted under the /media directory at boot time. As I 
recall, (personal notes are missing), I assign ownership to 
nobody:nobody, with permissive permissions to each of the files, and dump 
all those shared family files into a hierarchy /media/media.

Almost certainly not the canoniacal (sp?) way to approach the problem, but 
it has worked for several years. Except that I'm needing to rebuild 
hardware at the same time getting ready for teaching a new class at 
school. (Time for fixing stuff is in short supply at the moment.)

Memory claims there is some approach using a "label" command, and 
something else to get this partition to automount at boot. I'm just not 
finding the documentable details at the moment...

If anybody has an appropriate clue bat to beat me with, and the energy to 
weild it - I shore would appreciate it. Meantime, back to coursework and 
searching...

Thanks to one and all for putting up with me
