Re: best practices for adding/mounting backup drive

I've added a drive to my F18 TC1 system.
In Dolphin it immediately appeared under 'Devices' and clicking on it
appears to show it's mounted as "/run/mount/cj/backup disk" with root
being the owner
I want to use this drive as a repository to back up my home directory
to...
So, my questions:
Where and how should this drive be mounted?
Should I give ownership to myself as opposed to root?
Is FSTAB still the right file to use for setting up mount points?
If it's an external disk, just let udisks2 automatically manage it. Before
unplugging the device, "eject" it through the device manager widget
(plasmoid) in your system tray. (That tells udisks2 to unmount it.)
