Thanks - I thought I'd done that, but it must have been on one of the others. Hopefully the messages will stop now. I'm unclear what it's actually trying to do - (re)enable the swap space (or (re)mount the filesystem) that it thinks is supposed to be there? I'm not sure I like that; sometimes I deliberately umount a filesystem, and I don't want it remounted automatically while I might be doing some kind of maintenance. Cheers, Richard
