OOPS! - my fingers weren't following my brain! It should have been:
sudo mount /dev/hda4 or sudo mount /rex
I made essentially the same error in my latest response (quoted
above). I'm getting careless in cut and pasting!
"sudo fuser /rex" and "sudo fuser /rex" return nothing.
should be:
"sudo fuser /rex" and "sudo fuser /hda4" return nothing.
The output of cat /etc/fstab and sudo fdisk -l are attached.
fdisk emits a few errors, which may be related to the problem. I have
tried writing the partition table back to disk, but the same error
invalid flag message is repeated in the next invocation of fdisk.
Thanks,
Bob

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
