Can you post your new fstab? And have you done any 'upgrading' lately?
Windows or Slackware. Windows is notorious for changing things on the hdd without letting you know....
Usually, it messes with NTFS, but you never know....

I think the problem started when I tried to mount the partition on Solaris. When I mounted it on Solaris it said "/mnt/extra might be busy" , but it still mounted. I didn't think that was the cause but it might have been.
I have been getting errors when I booted slackware since I installed it about a week ago. Everything worked ok so I didn't worry about it. Now I'm not getting any. I guess turning off the auto did help
Is there anyway possible to backup the data on that partition, and remake a fresh fat32, then reinstall the data? Don't know why, but something is rattling around in the old database in my skull....
The problems with screwing with these OS's since '73. The dust is terrible in there.
And don't underestimate the possibility of a MS virus on the superblock of that partition....
