Ok, now Im more confused: question number 2. Do I have /etc as ram disk? have no idea, how do I check that? question 1. = definitively Im editing the right file.

I edited /etc/exports and the change remain after rebooting

I copy the unedited /etc/fstab to home as out1 and the recently edited to home as out2. out2 is ok after rebooting but /etc/fstab is equal to out1.

Another detail: the mount directories I make in /mnt are also deleted after rebooting!!

There is a file in /etc named "fstab.REVOKE" whose content is: /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 auto defaults

What is going on?? Is there some kind of protection mechanism set as default in rh9? I haven't seen anything of the sort described in the manual.
