The only difference I see is that in this case, you don't specify the filesystem type, and mount figures it out itself. So, are you sure it's ext3? Does mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 work? what does dmesg (or /var/log/kern.log) report about the filesystem type after you successfully mounted it? joostje -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
