I'm trying to have a hard drive mount when gentoo boots, but I'm getting an error and I don't understand why. This is the fstab entry:

Code:
/dev/hdb1     /media      reiserfs     umask=000     0    0


This produces a "some filesystems failed to mount" error on boot. When I do a 'mount /dev/hdb1 /media' from a terminal, it mounts fine though.

Yes, it is at /dev/hdb1.
Yes, it is a Reiser FS.

What am I missing here?

To check, if Your fstab entry is OK, try the command
Code:
# mount /dev/media
With man mount I cannot see a umask option for reiserfs, and those for other filesystems are written in lowercase letters... (I don't use reiserfs)

Taking the umask option out worked like a charm.

Thanks. :)
