Could the problem be another line in the fstab? You don't have to reboot to test your fstab entry. after a change type: mount /dev/hdb1 All the options will be read from your fstab and /dev/hdb1 will be mounted. Any error messages when trying this will help. Cheers, Sean -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
