You're missing the "options" field. Try this, where $YOU is your
username:

/dev/sda6 /hom/mycount/work ext3 defaults,noauto,user=$YOU 0 0

Changing topic: what ensures that the kernel will always see that
device as sda, instead of sdb?

The sda6 is actually a harddisk partition (not for usb stick). kernel
should have no problem to see it.

Is this your only internal (including optical) SATA drive? Maybe
your CD/DVD drive is IDE?

I am not clear the internal hardware structure, it is an Acer ASPIRE
5920 laptop.

I added a line of "/dev/sda6 /hom/project/work ext3
defaults,noauto,user=project 0 0" to the fstab, but it was actually
not working, there was an error of "bad line in fstab" during boot
(the user is project). Was it the problem as you concerned that kernel
could not see it?

Thank you.

Jim
