Hello Thufir,

This was a good idea, you can check what entries you have in the fstab
file, and compare with the output of the mount command to see what is
missing. However, if you do not notice anything missing, I would bet it is
something removable in some form or another. I, for example have a "backup"
hard drive which I install in my computer only when I need it.
I did create an entry in fstab for it, but comment it out. I uncomment it
when I plan to use it, otherwise the prompt you mentioned appears at boot
time.

Hope this helps.
Cheers!
