ALL credit must go to Syd on this one. You're an absoloute star- there's a pint with your name on it!!!!!!!
In a terminal:-
su (give password)
supermount -i disable umount /mnt/cdrom umount /mnt/floppy mount -a supermount -i enable
(optional: it may change your FS type to "auto", so try iso9660 for CD, vfat for floppy)
mount -a
This did it for me. And of course:- cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
...Just incase it balls up again! :)
I suspect that supermount has problems with windows partitions- poss remove from fstab and mount manually if you want to use them?
Thank god for that! :) - No, thank Syd!
