Rich, a command that may be helpful is "mount -fav" which will do a dry run so you can see if it throws any errors before trying to reboot using the new fstab.
Jason, et al.: With a clean install of Slackware64-15.0 on my ThinkPad X200 and modifying /etc/fstab the above command shows me something's wrong. blkid tells me: /dev/sda1 / /dev/sda2 swap /dev/sda3 /home and provides the PARTUUID for each. When I carefully replace the /dev/sdx with the relevant PARTUUID="..." and run the mount -fav command the results are: swap ignored / ignored /home already mounted I've triple checked that the PARTUUIDs are correct so I don't understand the mount's output. An explanation is needed. TIA, Rich
