BTW - is there any way to deal with this swapping identities? I have just realised that fstab is attempting to mount /dev/sda as /mnt/LS120 - but Konqueror is showing it with a padlock, like a fd or cdrom with no disk in - which again suggests to me that it is seeing the CF card. Anyway, if I unplug the cardreader - I would not normally have it plugged in - my LS120 will be on the wrong drivename. And when I reboot it will return to its own sda. How is the name derived? Is the position on the usb hub relevant? Anne
