Something strange is happening in my attempts to write to fstab. I have
added, for instance,
LABEL=/OldData

then umounted the manual mount of /mnt/data and run
[root@david ~]# mount -a
mount: mount point does not exist
However, the mount occurs and /mnt/data is readable in konqueror.
Clearly there is some sort of problem, but what?
There appears to be two lines:
LABEL=/OldData
This line does not have enough fields and is the one mount complains about.
/dev/hdb9 /mnt/data ext3 users 1 2
This line has the right number of fields and hence works.
