And yeaHi Peter. Thanks for the reply. It appears that the issue is as simple as -- the LABEL of the partition from gparted is "TestDir' - not /media/TestDir << one I changed the line in the fstab.. and then did a mount -a The partition/data is viewable.. At some point, I'll do a reboot to see if the box reboots again. Thanks!
