cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bkp edit fstab. then try to mount it. If you want to see what MDK is trying to do you can always do mount -fv it doesn't mount anything, and it outputs what is going on as it tries a "fake" mount. your ace in the hole... cp -f /etc/fstab.bkp /etc/fstab and you are back where you started.
