Hi Paul

I use the "Label" thing in fstab, too.
I guess a mispelled LABEL for dyndata on your /dev/sda5.

You can check the label with:
$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 | grep name

$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 --> will give you the full output of your
partition.

and compare it with the one in /etc/fstab.
