If I use an automounting fstab entry and follow the 2.2 instructions, the device is detected but the boot process hangs on 'mounting local file systems'. There was a little bit of file system damage, readily fixed by e2fsck; I'm not sure if it happened after trying the 2.2 or the 2.3 instructions. It's the 2.3 instructions that looked like they worked but didn't; got all the way through the boot process, /backup in the table returned by 'mount', but not an accessible drive. (which may mean that the file system damage happened while trying to boot under the 2.2 instructions and the 2.3 version would work with a clean disk; will try that tomorrow night sometime.). -- oak@xxxxxxxxxxxx | Uton we hycgan hwaer we ham agen, | ond thonne gedhencan he we thider cumen. | -- The Seafarer, ll. 117-118.
