Sure...after you make the change in your fstab, just run: "mount <filesystem>" Might I also suggest, instead of using the fstab to deal with your USB drive, that you use automount, instead? That way, while filesystem may not be mounted right at boot time, a simple "ls" or "cd" to the filesystem will bring it online. I do this for the USB drives that I use for my Mondo backups, so that don't have to have them online at all times, and so that I can easily disconnect them and take them offsite for storage. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
