Oliver, What file system do you have on that external disc? Fat32, NTFS (that would be read only in any case) what is the output of 'mount' showing? The line in fstab should not be needed anymore. As you mentioned, the disc was also mounted without this line (which is correct). Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
