Since installing karmic my external USB drive (/dev/sdb) no longer mounts at boot. Instead I am having to resort to sudo mount -a from the command line after login. 


Anyone know why the drives no longer automount? 


Here is my /etc/fstab file which (worked fine in jaunty): 





# /etc/fstab: static file system information. 
# 
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a 
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices 
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
