I've checked the obvious - device and mount point not mounted; not in directory /mnt; tried the "lazy" mount; no entry in /etc/fstab; does not show up in /etc/mtab
Help ?

No, you haven't checked the *obvious*. Look at the directory, /mnt It is *normally* a place to make other directories for mount points. Try making a directory, mkdir /mnt/sdb3 then, mount -t auto /dev/sdb3 /mnt/sdb3
and see what happens.
ps: google and the manpages help.

Here is an oddity: - I add a mount to fstab then reboot and my original mount command works (after and umount) - take out the entry in fstab and then the original command stops working again

Please, trim your quotes.
lsof /dev/sdb3
should tell what is holding /dev/sdb3

Just curious, does it show up when you try the mount command?

So what's in /mnt?
I've checked the obvious - device and mount point not mounted; not in directory /mnt; tried the "lazy" mount; no entry in /etc/fstab; does not show up in /etc/mtab
Help ?
If I can make a suggestion? create a directory under /mnt for the mountpoint.

/mnt will show as husy if you are in that directory what does pwd show?
I've seen this with usb drives that are being automounted Do you see it mounted under /media?
Are there more than 1 partition on this drive, some usb devices have hidden partitions.
