I am running 10.0 on a laptop. I have a USB2 external drive. When I originally added the drive it was formatted as a single vfat partition which mounted at /mnt/removable. I subsequently re-formatted it into three ext3 partitions /dev/sda1-3 and set them to mount at a different location. After mounting the drives DiskDrake asked if I wanted to record these changes in /etc/fstab, to which I said yes.
Now when the drive is not attached to the laptop, I can't boot into linux. Commenting out the lines referring to /dev/sda1-3 solves that problem, but the drive no longer automounts, although I can still mount with the mount command. What do I need to do to get the partiions to automount when the drive is connected without preventing the box from booting when the drive isn't connected? TIA Paul
