I decided to try out the Alt-F package after getting new drives and finally updating to 1.09fw.
One issue I'm having is how to get the USB to automatically mount to /mnt/sdc . Currently if I reboot, it takes over /mnt/sdb and that pushes the 2nd HD to /sdc which messes with the samba sharing in Windows.
Any ideas?

Is the kernel and not Alt-F who decides the device name of each disk.
If your left disk is slower to spin-up than the usb disk, then the usb disk will appear before and will be assigned sdb.
You can check which appear first by examining the kernel (or system) log, System->utilities, I believe.

Thanks for you post, after a couple reboots, it seems to have sorted itself. Hopefully it stays that way. I did go from vfat to ext2 then ext3 before it loaded as sdc.

You can also mount filesystems by label, this way they will always mount in the same "place", /mnt/<label>, whenever their device name is.
You can set fs labels in Disk->Filesystems, fill-in a label such as Video, then "Set Label" in the "FS Operations".
