Fsck? Are you sure? :-? Those errors can be important, can you post them? > Mount them with: > > mount -t ext4 /dev/hdc1 /new-disk as an example works once the system is > up. > > but the /etc/fstab example does not when i reboot. > > Is it perhaps that i have the boot flag entry on the other two HDD's? Unless you are using an old kernel (lenny or ealier releases) I would mount the partitions by their "uuid" (or id/label/path), avoid using the old naming system (/dev/sda1...) to ensure you are calling the "right" device and using "uuid" will be the best option for this. You can get the partitions "uuid" by: ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ Then adjust the "/etc/fstab" entry accordingly and verify the mount point is already set.
