I'm not sure why your /ect/fstab entries are removed, but it may be
related to the " 1 1" at the end of each entry.
The last two fields consist each of an integer value. The first one
is used by the dump command to determine if a filesystem needs to be
dumped, backing up the filesystem. The last field is used by fsck to
see if the filesystem should be checked at reboot and in what order.
If the last field has a value of 1, it indicates a boot partition, and
2 indicates other partitions. A 0 value means fsck need not check that
filesystem.
Try changing the last two fields to 0 0 for the two entries, and
see how that works.

Tom
