Hello:

No effect.  I have noticed that I get the same effect when I mount my
floppy.  My  fstab looks as follows (indented lines are continuations of
the preceding line):

/dev/hdb6 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto
     user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,
     codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto
     user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,
     exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat 
     iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,
     codepage=850 0 0
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip auto
     user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=777,
     nosuid,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb8 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdb9 /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0

All help is most appreciated.
