[H-GEN] RE: the order hdd's are mounted

[Michael]

Hello again,

I have been following the emails about how to partition your hard drive
correctly.. and i have decided to make a seperate partition for /usr /tmp
/var /home and /.

I have them as such

/dev/hdb8 on / type ex2 (rw)
/dev/hdb9 on /tmp type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hdb10 on /usr type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hdb11 on /var type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hdb12 on /home type ext2 (rw)

But for some reason they get mounted the wrong way up  like:

/dev/hdb8              54410    8970    42631     17%   /
/dev/hdb12            209960     210   198908      0%   /home
/dev/hdb11            396500    4606   371413      1%   /var
/dev/hdb10           1181123  149344   970734     13%   /usr
/dev/hdb9             303251      21   287569      0%   /tmp

The fstab contents are:

/dev/hdb8       /        ext2        defaults   1   1
/dev/hdb9       /tmp        ext2        defaults   1   1
/dev/hdb10       /usr        ext2        defaults   1   1
/dev/hdb11       /var        ext2        defaults   1   1
/dev/hdb12       /home        ext2        defaults   1   1

How can i get the hard drives to be mounted in the order i want ie
hdb9,10,11,12?  Also being a newbie how can i get /usr mounted read only?

Thx, 
Michael.
