Hallo, Bruce, Du meintest am 07.09.14: > I have a user that complains that mount is giving an incorrect error > message under some circumstances.

There's no need to put the device into a special line in "/etc/fstab". mount /dev/sdxn /run should always work, with the appropriate values for x and n. Viele Gruesse!
