I have a external firewire drive formatted as ext3 under RH7.2. When I

I have to manually mount it as ext3 and everything is fine. I have two
other external firewire drives one formatted FAT32 and the other ext3
both of these are recognized correctly and automatically mounted.
Here's the output from fdisk for the drive that isn't recognized:
Disk /dev/sdc: 203.9 GB, 203927060480 bytes

/dev/sdc1 1 24792 199141708+ 83 Linux
Any ideas??
When was the last time fsck was run against the partition
Today and it didn't make any difference. It seems to work fine mounting
it by hand but I'd sure like to know why it fails.
