It's not intentional-- that's just the error message I get back. If I try to mount the partition I get this: mount -t ext2 /dev/sda5 /mnt mount: /dev/sda5 is not a valid block device. To me that means the filesystem is messed up, which is why I started messing with mac-fdisk. And at that point I got the error about it being a swap partition, even though it isn't and never has been. > /etc/fstab and make double sure the information in there is > consistent with > what you see in mac-fdisk -l /dev/sda). If I could do that, I'd be a happy man. But /etc/fstab is on the partition I can't mount. -bill
