This _almost_ works; neither version 2.2 nor 2.3 work from boot for a /dev/sde1 /backup ext3 defaults 1 2 entry in /etc/fstab; if I use a 0 0 entry and run "/bin/mount /backup" from /etc/rc.d/rc.local it claims it works, though the partition isn't actually *there* until I unmount, and even when it is, [root@grithr backup]# touch test touch: cannot touch `test': Input/output error and /var/log/messages says Nov 26 22:00:11 grithr kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,65)): ext3_new_inode: reserved inode or inode > inodes count - block_group = 0,inode=4 Nov 26 22:00:11 grithr kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,65)) in ext3_new_inode: IO failure I suspect that the problem is the USB card reader, which doesn't have any cards in it and complains about this when the scsi bus is being scanned.
