I'm trying to get my second partition mounting automatically during booting.

My /myth is on /dev/hda3. But for some reason I can not get it mounting
automatically. I have to do a 'mount /dev/hda3 /myth. After that, it ok.

Here is my fstab...

# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
#/myth auto defaults,auto 0 2

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda2 none swap defaults 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda3 /myth ext3 auto defaults,auto 0 2

You're almost correct on your line, if you just get rid of the first "auto", then you should be OK:

Just tried it. Did not work. Still had to do a mount /dev/hda3 /myth?

Hmm, something strange going on, as that's exctly the same as the line in my fstab:

As root, does a plain work?
After the drive is mounted, what does a mount command on it's own return?

Ummm.... It just started working after I deleted and recreated fstab.

Thanks for the help.
