If my memory serves me correctly, I think that the initial part of fstab for static devices is preserved and you should put your entries there. The non-static devices are added/appended to the end of fstab and upon reboot and any entries added to that portion will be "flushed." When mounting windows partitions in prior installs of Fedora I would put them immediately after the "logvol" entries and thereafter had no problems. This should work for you with FC8. I hope that this is of some assistance to you. Regarding fuse partitions I am sorry that I have no experience to offer to you in this area. Fennix
