Since I had not made an addition to fstab yet I tried the idea above without the unmount line and the ls -l was as above (the mount line had to be mount "/dev/hdb3 /win" to work of course. So I thought try again as listed and guess what for some reason RHRL -3 WS has no unmount. whereis mount gives locations but whereis unmount gives none. What do I do now ?
