    [SOLVED] Mucked up partitions - pt2

    Hi again...

    So I thought i'd sorted the issue of deletion of my XP partition here, but ran into another problem.

    I found this site that recommends pysdm. I gave it a go, and now i've got drives on my desktop that shouldn't be there.

    So here's the output of sudo fdisk -l :
    Code:
    Disk /dev/sda: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14946 cylinders

    Disk identifier: 0x6c136ec4

    ... and here's my fstab:

    What I want is for all of the partitions to be mounted at boot, so I can set them up as Samba shares (managed to figure that one out on my own... ). I'd also like for them to not show on the desktop. I previously followed aysiu's great little tutorial here, but now that pysdm has been at it, i'm not sure what's what any more...

    So I think pysdm is causing at least one of the partitions to be mounted twice (or at least it tries to). Has it changed/added the mount point in fstab?

    Solved through IRC - pysdm added an extra mount point for / (root), which was doing funny things. Basically I just commented the extra reference in fstab. I didn't catch it because the first reference is the UUID at the top of fstab.
