As root, in a console, type:
mount -a and see what error you get. This command tries to mount all unmounted filesystems that are listed in /etc/fstab That should show you where the error lies. If you just want to get rid of the message (i.e. you don't want this filesystem mounted) edit /etc/fstab as root and remove the offending line. If you want this fs mounted, tell us what it is, post your fstab and we can help work out why it's complaining. HTH Brian
