Show us that first line of your /etc/fstab file. Also, unplug the USB device the plug it back in. That should generate some kernel messages in the message log, so then enter 'dmesg <Enter>' to see what device the kernel thinks that your USB disk device is. It should be something like /dev/sda or /dev/sda1. Show us all of the relevant USB messages from the 'dmesg' output. > I have done everything by following directions given to me by somebody > who is no longer with the company.

It could be as simple as editing /etc/fstab to use a different device for /mnt/usb, or it could be a udev problem. If it's the latter, I won't be of much use to you and you can just ignore most of what I said. > Thank you for your help. -- ~Randy ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
