Replace the owner entry with user and all users can mount the device. This may be a crazy question but when the lines in fstab disappeared did you reboot, shutdown, or what? How did you reboot and were you in runlevel 3 or 5 when you did it? The only time I have seen lines dissapear from a file after reboot if the file sysytem was not sync-ed before reboot. Automatic syncing happens every 30 seconds or so (or it used to) and some reboot methods sync and some do not. At run level 1 syncing is required before you hit a <ctl>-D to reboot. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200
