it worked w/ the /tmp mount. i verified by writing/deleting files to the mounted /dev/md4 /tmp device and then mounting /dev/hdc8 /mnt/hdc5 and taking a look.
after writing /dev/md4 /tmp to fstab, i used mount -a and it worked. i'll try the /home partition next ... it was late so i stopped there lest i zigged when i should have zagged. --- "Douglas A.
