I've probably spent more time on this than I should have. Maybe somebody can help me out. I'm trying to set up an external drive in fstab on an Ubuntu 8.04 machine so that I can mount it explicitly rather than on boot. The line in fstab is: /dev/sdc1 /media/backup vfat rw,user,noauto,noexec 0 0
When I try to mount it from the command line I get: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/backup It seems to be auto-mounting on boot. When I check mtab there is a line that reads: /dev/sdc1 /media/backup vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=rlc 0 0 Why would it auto-mount when I have the noauto option in fstab? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
