It's a common and easy mistake. Here's a tip ... before rebooting, if
there have been changes to /etc/fstab, then do this:
mount -a
It will cause the system to [re]examine /etc/fstab and try to mount
everything which would be mounted at boot time. It will let you know
if it doesn't like something. Pass it on.
