Thanks Steve and Matthew, but I had tried that before (taking notail out)

my fstab now is as below but the problem is still here:-

/dev/sda1     /boot    ext3    noauto,noatime          1 1
/dev/sda3     /          reiserfs        notail,noatime          0 1
/dev/sda2     none   wap            sw                      0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0   /mnt/cdrom   iso966    noauto,ro,user          0 0
/dev/sda4   /mnt/share    ext3     noatime,umask=000       0 0
#/dev/fd0   /mnt/floppy   auto       noauto                  0 0
/dev/hdb1   /mnt/bak reiserfs        notail,noatime          0 1

none       /proc/bus/usb   usbfs           defaults                0 0

# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none     /proc           proc            defaults                0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

none      /dev/shm        tmpfs           defaults                0 0

man mke2fs might help. notail is a reiser option, Didn't take long to
find the reason once the requested info arrived (:


... well it might, but man mount, using the ext2/ext3 sections might
help more. Brain in neutral again.

Try using the word 'defaults' as your option list. That's all you need. If mount /mnt/share works as a command line on its own, then you're sorted.
