Ur syntax seems to be correct. When you execute mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbfixedhd manually it works right? For more info about fstab, please see the below link http://www.humbug.org.au/talks/fstab/fstab.html Thanks, Krishnaprasad -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Scully Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 9:49 PM To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Subject: RE: USB drives Krishnaprasad: How should that entry appear? I tried one with "/dev/sdb1 /media/usbfixedhd ext3 defaults 0 0" But that didn't worked when I rebooted it. Of course /media/usbfixedhd likely didn't exist since the shutdown would have removed it on dismount.

By default root file system will be there in /etc/fstab. Similarly do it for the new ext3 partition.
