I have reiserfs partition, that's not mounted when PC boots. I can mount it later with no problems....fstab has following line:

/dev/hdg6 /mnt/hdg6 reiserfs users,exec 0 0

Any ideas?

DSL does not automatically mount partitions.

You can mount it using the little mont app dockapp in the lower right corner, or you can Right-Click on the mountpoint directory in emelfm and choose "Mount".

If you wish to automatically mount the partition, you could ad the mount command to your /opt/bootlocal.sh

>> DSL does not automatically mount partitions.

Why is this the case?

I added the correct entry to /etc/fstab.

The console messages seem to indicate that there was an attempt made to mount the partition but says that the mount-point-path could not be found.  It then umounts.

Regardless, the prescribed solution works.  Thank you.

Does "/mnt/hdg6" exist?  That's the only thing i can think of which would prevent the mount.

The autodetection boot code in DSL will rebuild your /etc/fstab every time that you reboot, so your changes should be undone.

DSL does not automatically mount your partitions.  However, you can add a "mount" command to your /opt/bootlocal.sh startup script if you like.
