I don't know whther it is at all relevant, but your fstab appears to be trying to mount two different drives on the same mount point (/).

Hi Lisi

I saw that but don't know what to make of it. Here is the result of 'df -lh'.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              71G   58G  9.8G  86% /
tmpfs                 760M     0  760M   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                   10M  800K  9.3M   8% /dev
tmpfs                 760M     0  760M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb              113G   82G   26G  77% /new-disk
/dev/sdb1             7.5G  3.4G  4.2G  46% /media/KINGSTON
/dev/sda1             1.9T  123M  1.9T   1% /mnt
Where the first 'dev/sda1' comes from is unknown to me. I formatted the drive on my Debian system using Partition Editor and it showed only a 1.82TB size partition. Deleting the partition did not show an increase or that seemingly extra drive which does not physically exist. As the USER I believe I can edit the 'fstab' so I'll delete that line and see what happens. If the USER can't do it then I'll do it as ROOT.
