no help from those that makes sense to me. :( > I wasn't aware that *just* editing /etc/fstab would do this, > but perhaps MATE has set a watch on the file? saving it kicks off a reload of it from systemd, but i'm not sure where the actual configuration or lever is there to turn this off. maybe gio/gconf/gsettings stuff which i hate almost as much as MS registry editing. just a horrible interface and design decision IMO. which is why i have spent so little time in the past digging into it and why i don't know much about it even now other than it is there and i hate it. haha... :) thanks, not sure i'm going to make any more headway on this for the moment. songbird
