Sorry Lisi I mis-read your email -- after re-reading your original reply I took a second and third look before it finally soaked into this thick head what you were saying -- I'll look into that when I return later today --On Sunday 19 September 2010 11:29:44 John Lindsay wrote:Lisi wrote:On Saturday 18 September 2010 22:50:05 John Lindsay wrote:Here is my 'fstab'# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1[snip/dev/sda1 / ntfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1I 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 (/). LisiActually it is the 'mtab' that shows the two '/dev/sda1' entries. I'll try editing it and see what damage I can do!!!Yes - but the point I made is that in /etc/fstab you have two *partitions* /dev/hda1 and /dev/sda1 BOTH trying to mont on one mount point, /. If you look again at my email you will see that that is what I said.Lisi
