I'm saying that if I mount the drive manually, it works. If I reboot the machine, the drive fails to mount. I see a few error messages during boot-up and it says mount failed. When the machine comes back up to the desktop, I can then mount manually again, without problem. My fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/home/cj/archive /home/cj/archive ext3 defaults 1 2 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 What is strange is the fact that the system tries to use /sdb1 instead of /sdc1 on reboot, even though the drive was manually mounted using /sdc1 -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
