grrrr. I'm _not_ a librarian, I just play one on tv. 

The point that I was trying to make was that the mountpoints that Michael
was talking about were just what he had specified. Unfortunately, he was
apparently unable to match up the lefthand/righthand column output from
mount and see that, on a partition by partition basis, that was what he 
had specified in his /etc/fstab!

Just because it doesn't print out the way you think it should doesn't mean
that it hasn't worked. As I wrote earlier,  if you don't like it, UTSL!
And if the output from mount isn't exactly what you though, don't you
remember how large the partitions are?
