I didn't think that a new thread was necessary since this is a known problem but I can't find a bug that really fits this problem to add my 2c to. Most of them appear to be specific to a particular laptop or a particular graphics driver. I have 2 different desktops both running F9 and both using (different) nVidia graphics cards. Both of them fail to resume after hibernation. The logs show that everything worked OK. Got a bug number for me ar shall I write a new one?

From what I have seen, it is machine dependent. There are different things you can try if it does not work "out of the box". I know it works on my laptop. I have not tried it on my desktop.

I think I'll write an RFE on the util-linux-ng package requesting a better error message and better documentation, assuming that there isn't one already. I updated to F9 this past weekend and it went smoother than I had anticipated. My fstab was overwritten again and my Windows partition mount was removed again but at least I know how to fix that now. My only other problem is that if set any time for "Put computer to sleep when inactive for:, System->Prefernces->System->Power Management, the computer does go to sleep at the appropriate time but it can not be woken up again. This issue was discussed on this list last Nov or Dec and it appears that it hasn't been fixed yet.

There should probable be a see also pointing to FUSE. But there doesn't seem to be a fuse man page. You may want to read the documentation in /usr/share/doc/fuse-2.7.4. > Why does mount report "permission denied" instead of something > like "bad type" when it gets an incorrect type? > The error message is most likely generated by the mount.fuse helper application. It really should be improved. I am used to seeing it when rpm is checking for free space, and it tries to read my fuse-mounted encrypted directory. It is possible to mount file systems using fuse that root cannot access.

Thanks, Mikkel. The solution was as simple as using the correct type, ntfs-3g, in the /etc/fstab file. My Windows partition is now mounted n the "correct" place which allowed my USB drive to go back to /media/disk instead of /media/disk-1 and so now my backups are working again. I completed full backups last night and so my next task is to upgrade to F9 using a DVD since preupgrade doesn't work for me. I'm still left with many questions that I think are not so easy to answer. What overwrote my fstab file in the first place? Why did it get overwritten without any notification? Why did whatever overwrote it decide for me that my Windows partition should be removed? Why does mount report that a filesystem is of type fuseblk when the type requested was ntfs-3g? Why is there no mention of type fuseblk in the mount man page or in the fstab man page?man mount Why does mount report "permission denied" instead of something like "bad type" when it gets an incorrect type?
