LOL. I thought I was too! I didn't realise this was "off-list" until just now. damn gmail. I wish I could un-set that "reply-to:" header. Sending this to the list now, to get it back on-list. Um, can I ask how you know it's working? Could you please do the following commands directly after boot and post the output: # df # mount /dev/sda4 /home/share # df I have my suspicions that it isn't mounting, and anything you write to "/home/share" is in fact being written inside that directory on the root filesystem. Cheers, Gareth
