Found this while thinning my inbox. Adding something for the archives from one who makes a lot of manual mistakes. I've seen similar errors under two different circumstances: 1) My target partition wasn't mounted. *oops* 2) Target partition was mounted BUT had quietly been auto-renamed by my system k/t that another partition was already bearing the same label name. Fodder for another eventual thread and why I love and advocate UUIDs over labels or other. Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * sometimes words #fail me. *
