I need to understand the environment in which this is happening a bit better before I can contemplate what might be wrong. Can you answer the following questions: In what order did you create the file systems? Was there already a GPT on the disk and did it had partitions?

A proper fstab is created last on the to-be root file system (which is not the same as the root file system used by sysintall). HTH, -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
