Thanks. The problem was my non-zero last field, as per my other
posts. BTW, mounting by label / UUID is often a better idea,
especially for removable storage, since it ensures consistency of
mount points even when the connection order varies. This may not be
important to you, but it is to many.

Yes, you're right. I haven't really bothered with UUID, simply because
I've never been in a position where I've had to connect two removable
storage devices at the same time, so haven't really had the need for
it... plus I'm lazy and stuck in an old routine. ;)

Glad your issue is resolved.
