However, here's a few questions:
Does 'df' show an entry for /mnt/hdb1 Is there a directory /mnt/hdb1? Does 'lsof | grep hdb1' give any output ( if you haven't got lsof installed, then I recommend you get it! ). Is there an entry in /etc/fstab for /dev/hdb1? can you fsck /dev/hdb1? That should do for a start (: Steve -- Let us have a moment of silence for all Americans who are now stuck in traffic on their way to a health club to ride a stationary bicycle. - Congressman Earl Blumenauer (Oregon)
