mounting USB drives at boot in karmic

Thu Nov 5 14:43:20 UTC 2009

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). 
# 
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

# / was on /dev/sda6 during installation
