If you do want to have entries in /etc/fstab for them, use partition labels instead of device names. LABEL=/backup /backup ext3 defaults 1 2 You can use e2label to label ext2/3 partitions. You can check the list archives or ask here on how to label other types of partitions. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
