So are you saying that it should look like this: /dev/hda1 / ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 #/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1 /dev/hda4 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1 /dev/sda1 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0 none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0 # Dynamic entries /dev/hda3 /data ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 But what about the fact that these partitons were not previously named this? Would this make a difference? What about the 'Dynamic entries'? Does that mean/do anything?
