Yes, some daemons do complain. And this problem has happened again
today; I typed "mount" and verified that /mnt/hdc2 is indeed not
mounted. 

Oh, and I have changed the physical location of the hard disk and it is
now hdc2; I have chaged fstab and have created a symlink from /mnt/hdb2
to /mnt/hdc2. If you want to see my fstab here it is (I have stripped
some comments)

Note: the version of initng in my PC is modified; I put kexec support
in it (I just had to add a few lines in initng_main.c). By the way,
when will the official initng have kexec support??
