Perhaps sda3 is not listed there.
Thats /etc/fstab for linux. Note that late linux's can operate on both a path, as in /dev/sda3, and a label, which in his case would be /, in other words the base of the system. The disk may be labeled, and the label is being used in /etc/fstab rather than the /dev/device nomenclature. tune2fs can apply labels to partitions if the filesystem is late enough. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
