It kind of looks to me as if the drive is mounted to two different locations, but I dont know if you can even do that. Maybe post the contents of /etc/fstab/ here. Is this causing you any problems, or just a curiosity? __________________ Living the digital dream.... Disclaimer: I may be wrong since I was once before.

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate

hda7 is being mounted twice. remove above line from /etc/fstab file.

Its mounted as root partition and also mounted to /mnt/hda7 If it is the directory for your entire system, removing the second line (/dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 ext3 auto,noatime,users,suid,dev,exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate) would solve your problem I THINK. I'd wait for a second oppinion on that lol, I dont have enough faith in my own advise. Edit: aah, casper beat me to it __________________ Living the digital dream....

A live CD distro? and it seems you've installed it to your harddrive. If you've changed the file, and your still having troubles, it might be something in your init scripts that is mounting it twice. Finding and editing init scripts is something I'm pretty horrible at. It took me a few hours of reading to get a vague idea of what files start what processes. Although apparently backtrack is based on slackware, which means it probably has the same init system my computer does. If its the startup (or shutdown) that is the problem, Its probably going to be located in a file in /etc/rc.d/ . Sorry I cant do more to help. __________________ Living the digital dream....
