Partition Mounting problem



Hi,
I created a new partition using the Yast2 Partitioner tool to be
mounted at mount point /project. For one this partition does not get
mounted at boot-time. Also if i try to explicitly mount it i get the
message :

mount : /dev/sda4 already mounted or /project busy.

And when i try to umount i get the message :

umount : /dev/sda4: not mounted

The entry even exists in /etc/fstab. Where am i going wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Kanishk.
