Hi Ralf

Everything seemed to go fine. Heres the output you asked for


tim at tim-W8TAH:~$ blkid /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="Data" UUID="17d6f0e8-3ce4-4190-8f92-c4182acc9ce0"
TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="6a1c233a-01"
tim at tim-W8TAH:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' 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/sda1 during installation
