Claus, I'm not really sure, but since nobody else has had an answer yet, I'll
give it a shot. Does your alias mean that you can replace '/dev/sda4' with
'/dev/zip'? I figure that's what you mean.
In your first example, shouldn't that be reversed? That is, isn't the command
#mount /dev/zip /mnt/zip?
Another thing I checked...my fstab file doesn't have the 'exec' that yours does.
Don't know if it belongs there or if it would make a difference...
