Plenty of ways to fix this... for one, if you haven't rebooted, just type 'mount' which will show you which partitions are currently mounted, and where. You can then rewrite the fstab based on that info, and the sample fstab below (given for form & syntax). Just plug in your partition names. /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda4 /usr ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda1 /mnt/fat32-c vfat defaults 1 0 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto,user 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 If you want to see a list of available partitions, you can 'cat /proc/partitions' to see what's there. Not sure about other distros, but with slackware, you can just pull the default fstab out of the A package, and edit that. You do NOT need to reinstall. -- Bill Layer Sales Technician <b.layer at vikingelectronics.com> +----------------------------------+ Viking Electronics, Inc. 1531 Industrial St. Hudson, WI. 54016 - U.S.A 715.386.8861 ext. 210 <http://www.vikingelectronics.com> +----------------------------------+ "Telecom Solutions for the 21st Century" Powered by Slackware Linux 7.1.0
