I've created a new drive and i've added it to my fstab file but on startup it will not mount. here is how i put it into my fstab file, is that right?
/dev/hdb2 /disk2a ext3 defaults 1 2
So, does manual mount works?
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb2 /disk2a
yeah only i use
mount /dev/hdb2 /disk2a
Are you sure the filesystem is really ext3?
You didn't mention whether explicitly passing "-t ext3" with mount works. If it does not work with this option but works without this option, most likely your filesystem is not ext3 at all.
Ummm When i made it i'm certain that it's an ext3 but i will check if it really is. Sorry i didn't reply sooner but my router fried and i had to get get and setup a new one... lol.
hard days, my filesystem is not ext3 at all... lol... thanks for the help. I could ahve sword i made it an ext3 but i guess i was wrong... thanks again problem is fixed now.

Just so you know, you can put in 'auto' in the FSType field and it'll try to figure it out (based on the filesystem drivers loaded in the kernel)
