Thanks Kerry
Will see if I can get someone to take a look at the hardware
configuration. In the mean time, any command I can give it to stop
it trying to mount hdb:?
Interestingly, The same setup does not complain under windows xp
or ubuntu 7.10.
The hard drives are plugged in to a caddy and I have 3 drives only
one present at any time.
