Hello John
I had thought that an error attempting to mount a file system that no
longer existed would appear in /var/log/dmesg ; but in fact I have just
tried manufacturing a comparable situation (line in /etc/fstab referring
to a disk that's not on line at the time of boot) and I did not get the
error in dmesg that I had hoped to see. My situation of course is a bit
different. Unfortunately I don't now have the machine that showed this
particular symptom (company laptop, returned). But may be worth having a
look there in case.
cheers

Victor,
Thanks. dmesg seems to be the boot-up log, that's useful, I've learnt
something. However, the UUID of my missing partition was not in any of
the daily dmesg logs. I won't pursue that issue any more.
John
