</div><br>I would try this using folders that exist. Create a folder like /mnt/jupiter and try replacing "/media/jupiter" with "/mnt/jupiter".<br><br>The reason I say this is that /media is a special folder intended for hot-plug devices (devices where the folder doesn't exist beforehand and Ubuntu creates it when you plug in the device). So folders in /media are fair game to be deleted at any time. And /etc/fstab should expect the mount point to exist always.<br>
<br>I expect this will increase reliability, too.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own<br><br>
