Yes ! and use an fstab paramer so it can skip it during boot so it does not hang , with the wrong fstab entry it may very well expect the drive and hang there if it's not present . I'm at work but is not "nofail" ? If the pc is booted after the VB . Then SSH comes to the rescue "mount -a" or "sudo mount -a" :) Not ideal ,but it works -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
