Again, I had nothing of the sort in v10.2. It's obvious to me that I misinterpreted the information on page "man fstab", and have not mounted these two partitions properly, because they do not appear at all in the df readout: ***** # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 20161172 4263432 14873600 23% / udev 1027092 112 1026980 1% /dev /dev/sda7 30249960 432008 28281340 2% /home ***** Here is mount: ***** # mount /dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/sda7 on /home type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) The pertinent lines of fstab are as follows: ***** /dev/sda12 /mnt/info jfs ro,noauto,user 0 0 /dev/sda13 /mnt/datafiles jfs ro,noauto,user 0 0 ***** They still make sense to me, but there must be a misunderstanding.
