Maybe the format required for those lines has changed, too? These are the lines that I guess it is looking at: /Data1 /nfs4exports/Data1 none bind 0 0 /Data2 /nfs4exports/Data2 none` bind 0 0 /Data3 /nfs4exports/Data3 none bind 0 0 /home /nfs4exports/home none bind 0 0 I think there was something about wrong or missing type. Each of those partitions is defined earlier in fstab and does have the correct type stated. Anne
