Put noauto as one of the parameters for the partition in fstab.
Yes, the noauto does what you want, but I will share a gotcha, having already done exactly what you are doing. Assuming you do not boot every day, by mounting and unmounting the drive daily?, you can be sure your drive will be fsck'ed on every boot, at least ext2 and ext3, don't know how reiser handles the mount count check. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
