Follow up: I cycled the power anyhow. (in spite of the sync error.) power up and voila! Three drive icons on the desktop. # cat /etc/fstab # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=extraData /usr/extraData ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,utf8,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk ext3 pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/sda2 /media/usbdisk1 ext3 pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/sda3 /media/usbdisk2 ext3 pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 So, now the question is. Since this is some kind of auto thingamajig, can I still mount these partitions anywhere, say in /opt or /usr/share, whatever? Btw, I used ext2 on the 1, ext3 on 2 and 3. But fstab lists all as ext3.
