Maybe should have stopped there but ...
took a while to get it working (made a copy of fstab to fall back to) in the 
end I found that "errors-remount-ro" should have been  "errors=remount-ro" 
every time I tried it dropped me to a new (to me anyway) Emergency mode consol, 
like recovery but with history? it could just be 23.10 is more delicate to this 
stuff

I have it running BUT no drive icons on launcher, compared to 22.04 the fstab 
is much the same (just UUID difs) 22.04 shows drives on launcher, I can get 
them 2if" I use disks that add the gvfs stuff and loses the comments

thanks for patience
