I just learned another wrinkle to editing fstabs the other day, while trying to get a Linux machine set up at work. On newer Linux distros (Redhat Fedora Core 3, in my case), they've added a new hardware auto-detect daemon called HAL. (Insert your own 2001 jokes here... ;-) ) It will automatically change your fstab when it detects a new USB or internal disk (or removal of a disk), and when it does, it deletes or changes your hand-written fstab entries. There are ways to keep it from doing that, but I didn't figure it out in the few minutes I spent looking at it. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
