Thanks Grant :) I unmounted /disks/H and then tried to chown it to user julian. 'Invalid user'. 'Oh no it isn't you lying little...' mutters me.... So I went to the fstab for a look [apologies for the alignment]: # /etc/fstab -- static file system information auto generation: off # generated by: /sbin/etcdev2fstab # # NOTE: to make this file readable, it has been formatted for 132 columns # #<device> <mountpoint> <fstype> <options> <dbg> <pass> /dev/hda8 / ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /disks/C vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,nouser,async,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda5 /disks/D vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,nouser,async,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda6 /disks/E vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,nouser,async,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdc5 /disks/F vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,nouser,async,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdc6 /disks/G vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,nouser,async,umask=0 0 0 //Oracle/ARAGORN /disks/H smbfs rw,username=julian,password=***** 0 0 /dev/hda10 /home ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/cdroms/hdd /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,exec,user,noauto,async,unhide 0 0 /dev/floppy/0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,nosuid,nodev,exec,nouser,noauto,async 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devmode=0666 0 0 /dev/hda9 /usr/local ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda7 none swap sw 0 0 as you can see /disks/H is there. So then I changed the line 'auto generation: off' to read '# auto generation: on', saved it and manually executed /sbin/etc2fstab It *seems* to have done the trick.
