Oh yes, had fun with fstab in single user mode yesterday ... I'd put a spelling mistake in /etc/fstab that was fun as it was my first venture into single user mode. Took me 20 mins to realise that only / was mounted and that /use wasn't hence no editors or shells. As this is a production server (its only my home file server) and the card was an ebay special at sub $200 I'm happy with the performance. I may play around with moving them when some more routine maintenance comes up but as I am only writing to it over the 100Mbit network 50MB/sec is more than enough for what I am looking at. Many thanks for the help. Cheers Richard
