Whats user_xattr ?? Anyway, if my entry 'should' work, do I maybe just need to chmod the /mnt/hate dir?? I seem to recall needing todo something like this in the past... Seeing that you are also dealing with an encrypted volume, it the drive a fixed or portable one? Here I have an usb-drive, with one partition encrypted. After posting, I plugged it in, only to be greeted by a 'encrypted volume detected' message, with a password promt. I don't use gnome or kde,so I was quite surprised. (I use thunar). Anyway, I figured that it would take care of mounting the thing (it being hal) making my fstab entry irrelevant. However, I wasn't able to test, cause for what ever reason, my password does not get accepted, neither at this promt, nor when doing this manually. Has this ever happened to you?? I'm 100% certain that I'm not misstyping, and I 100% wrote the password down correctly... :( No data lost, as I was still setting things up, but this is quite shocking... Tom
