Hi Donatas If you use UUIDs inside /etc/fstab instead of the raw device names you may have joy? e.g. ls -l /dev/disks/by-uuid and find the UUID of /dev/sda1 Then replace /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab with UUID=<the_uuid_of_sda1> Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
