Hi Steve,

Note that there is an icon on my desktop for "9.6 GB Media".  It also shows 
under Places>Computer.
It is my /media/disk folder.

I opened terminal and got this:

w...@2kbox:~$ sudo chroot /media/disk su web
[sudo] password for web:
bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
===== this line repeated about 100 times =====
bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
w...@2kbox:/$ 

I did not try to run sudo -s.

I rebooted my system and tried again.
This time I got:

w...@2kbox:~$ sudo chroot /media/disk su web
[sudo] password for web: 
chroot: cannot change root directory to /media/disk: No such file or directory
w...@2kbox:~$

The 9.6 GB Media icon was gone from my desktop. I assume this was
because that drive did not mount with the reboot. I accessed it via
Places>Computer which caused the icon to reappear. I then ran

w...@2kbox:~$ sudo chroot /media/disk su web
[sudo] password for web:

and once again got:
bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
w...@2kbox:/$

This time I ran and got:
w...@2kbox:/$ sudo -s
sudo: must be setuid root
w...@2kbox:/$
