You know, I've found that "occasionally" something will monkey with fstab, and stuff that was working correctly fails to mount, or fails to mount in the correct place. To allow me to see what has happened, I copy my fstab as soon as I get everything working, so I can refer back to it when things go south. (The fstab backup created at changes isn't reliable, because sometimes I don't notice that stuff isn't working for a while, and several changes may have been made). K3b seems to be a big offender (as you have found out). Also, turn off harddrake--you can always turn it back on when new hardware is added. And sometimes, things seem to happen for no good reason that I can determine. I thought that I might be the only one, but I guess not. These are the fstab lines for my CD's with Mdk9.2, no scsi emulation on the reader. If there was, it might make cdrom2 /dev/scd1. none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=udf:iso9660,--,rw,user,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 One thing I know, if you unplug a usb device, and don't reboot when you plug it back in, a second mount point for the same device will be added (my camera does this continuously), and it drives me nuts! Anyone know how to stop this? And finally, I quit using K3b. I have a lot less problems with Eroaster because it doesn't continually "lose" my devices. I don't have any DVD writers, though, just CDRWs, so I don't know if Eroaster even works with DVDRW. e
