You can keep defaults, but you don't need to - the defaults are, well, defaults :) Here's what I mean: If you specify "sync", the fs will also be mounted using "rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, and nouser" (the defaults). You only need specify "defaults" in /etc/fstab when all you want are the defaults - the fstab field may not be empty. I'm not explaining this very well but if you think about it it makes sense (I hope :) -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
