Below is a copy of my fstab. On boot i get a message complaining that there is an error on line 8 of my fstab. Has anyone else seen something like this? Besides the error on bootup everything works fine. Can i take line 8 out and change like 9 to: /dev/swap /swap swap defaults 0 0 I wanted to run it by the list before i messed around with fstab. Does anyone know why this happened. As you can see i mounted an NTFS drive (line 10) but if i remember correctly the unreadable characters (in both gedit and vi) appeared even the first time i opened the file.
