I just checked the header in my /etc/fstab and as it looks it MUST be a new line. Here is the line: # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.12 2003/03/11 02:50:53 azarah Exp $ You see, my KMail broke it exactly at that position, so "02:50:53" is now interpreted as the device, "azarah" as mountpoint "Exp" is the type of filesystem and "$" is mount option. So, I think, Robert has to check his fstab more carefully... Btw, is it possible that you edited it with nano and forgot the "-w" switch? Cheers, Renat -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
