fstab & mtab corruption in Kubuntu
Hi,
I'm running Feisty Fawn with Kde. For the second time in a week my /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab suddenly appeared to be corrupted. In both occasions it occurred after I had been configuring an application button in the desktop-panel, and both were for a non-Kde application. I'm puzzled with this problem and I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced a similar problem.

If you hadn't use the bold letters for the entire file you could have used bold to point out the specific problem. People don't want to analyze you entire file to find out what is wrong.

Can you give us the exact steps of you carried out, rather than just the problem, what application etc.
