| I'm at my wits end here... does anyone have any idea what would cause the mnttable file to get wiped out every time I reboot??? This is an old K460 box running 10.20. I've tried reinstalling the operating system and then restoring everything from tape and get the same result. Thanks! Phil Smith Mercy Hospital Des Moines, Iowa |

Never heard of mnttable. It is updated whenever mounts/umounts occur, so it will essentially be re-written at boot time. Are you manually editing the file for some reason? Kevin |
