I used that strategy with my previous system. Point /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdc1 to /cfcard and /sdcard in fstab and mount away. No longer. I found out I can run cfdisk /dev/sda and cfdisk /dev/sdc, then /dev/sda1 and dev/sdc1 are created. Then I can mount and unmount. So, somehow, something is screwed. I built this system from scratch with sarge netinstall and apt, so I've probably left something out... Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
