No, there are no such entries in fstab, however another thing I just discovered is that the problem does not affect all USB devices. The problem seems not to occur with my USB flash drive but does affect my 120GB USB hard disk. After reboot and login media looks like this: [bshotts@twin7 ~]$ ls -l /media total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 bshotts root 16384 Dec 31 1969 disk drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 18 16:04 usb-ext3 "disk" is a 16MB USB pen drive and "usb-ext3" is the hard drive. ||||| William Shotts, Jr. (bshotts AT panix DOT com) ||||| Be a Linux Commander!
