Yeah, that's how its done in Unix/Linux.

I was going to mention that...but thought...naaaahh he must know that!

You'd think!

Problem was, every time I mounted them via the GUI it creates the dirs automatically so I didn't realise they weren't there.

Still, all working now.

Cheers anyway.

Fixed it now.

I had to create the directories manually to be used as mountpoints first.

Thanks anyway

Have you tried the "defaults" option in place of relatime.

and after the boot finishes, what happens if you try

mount -a

?

trouble mounting disks in Ubuntu

Recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 and am struggling to get it to auto mount two partitions
I've added the following to /etc/fstab
UUID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /media/disk1 ext3 relatime 0 0
UUID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /media/disk2 ext3 relatime 0 0

with the correct UUIDs of course but they still won't mount. I've tried adding them to /etc/mtab but that just gets reset with each reboot.

If I remove the lines I can mount them manually from the file browser but I'd rather it was automatic at boot.

Any ideas?

TIA
