Perhaps, but 'impressions' are not very precise diagnostic data - My fstab now looks like this: ***************************************** # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 #Entry for /dev/sda3 : LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 #Entry for /dev/sda1 : LABEL=boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 #Entry for /dev/sdc1 : LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 #Entry for /dev/sdd1 : LABEL=bigstore /home/cj/archive ext3 defaults 1 2 #Entry for /dev/sdb1 : LABEL=satatray /home/cj/sataext ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sde1 /media/80GB_mini_external ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 #Entry for /dev/sda2 : LABEL=SWAP-sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 #LABEL=archive500gb /home/cj/archive ext3 defaults 1 2 ******************************************** the hash'ed lines, save the three at the beginning, were added -- there seems to be some updating and some descriptive behavior involved here; in any event, on my system, all is well and this seems to have had no ill effect -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
