Dont worry about your reply ideas and comments you are the height of politeness compared with some on the lists not just this one either so dont worry I have compared this machine with the laptop that is similar processor ect and same partitioning layout , i can see no difference between the 2 apart from the actual UUID of the partitions i will have a play with some of those suggestions shortly see what happens . I have a feeling it may well be related to the latest util-linux and a another that was changed at the big update i did . Watch this space . Of course noone else will offer any assistance will they EHhhhh! Pete . -- Linux 7-of-9 3.5.3-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 26 09:14:51 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
