Just out of curiosity, do you actually put anything in /usr that you need
to back up? Since this is ubuntu, pretty much everything in that folder is
created by installed packages, there's no real need to back it up since
everything can be reinstalled from the repository. The benefits of backing

No. That's why I use it.

Hopefully it lets me change the subject to start a new conversation. You
bring up some interesting points but it's very off topic.

Ah I was about to ask about that. One of the things that trips me up about
manual edits in /etc/fstab is that if you make a change to a drive that is
already mounted, it doesn't automatically re-mount it with the new
parameters.
Does dirvish work now?

The error you are getting is for dirvish, not mount so I wonder if your
fstab is correct, but dirvish is upset about something. Make sure that the
partition is mounted through non-dirvish means to verify that your fstab
file is accurate.
run mount ( with no arguments) or ls the contents of
you want the UUID, not the PARTUUID. A simpler way to get this info quickly
would be to use 'lsblk -o name,uuid' so that you can avoid the extra
information.
How do you have this declared in fstab?

There are pros and cons to everything, and slow package installation is a
tradeoff all debian-based distros accept.
Who is distributing their distro via Sourceforge?? I'm not aware of any
large projects that still use them for hosting. And distros in particular
don't usually go through those types of hosting services since they prefer
to offer HTTP mirrors instead. You might want to see what kind of speeds
