hello Marc thanks for your help there are only the two mount points as shown in my fstab file, everything is mounted under root except for the home directory. i carried out the test on the os_requirements page to test the filesystem, the test returned outputs as shown on the page, there were no "Operation not supported" errors so i assume the kernel is configured correctly and the filesystem is mounted with the correct options.
