Exactly!!
trying to mount on /wa1 when /wa1 was a directory? In which case - it would help to provide the requested files in the state where the problem exists :-)
fstab says wa1 but I would have to reboot to get the exact config back, and that takes over an hour!
(also, one vs ell is confusing ... I assume you've got the right el^Wone :-)
Oh yeah! One of the many things I verified! Been using /wa1 for years as is. Keep copying the fstab so it is tried and true; until the last aptitude upgrade.
