THANK YOU! Somehow when I installed LTSP kernel, the modules did not get installed, so when I first tried modprobe, I got errors. I put them in /opt/ltsp/i386/lib, etc., manually, however, and modprobe worked as advertised. Now I can access my local hard drive. I've already put my backup script in the terminal tree and it is working smoothly -- you've helped me cut my time for restoring a station to under one minute. Thanks molto.
