The /etc/mtab file is dynamically generated and shows what's mounted (it's just a file, not a link to anything). Wait for further advice from others on this, but I think you could just delete it and let your system create a new one. Though considering that it's already stuffed up, I can't see you making things any worse. Perhaps the problem is that the system can't modify the file as it wants to. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
