Sorry. Typo, or misread. The 482 GB drive is:

/dev/sdb1 on /media/dick/a857c2f6-6e1a-4afe-9d6e-8109105a740 type ext4 
(rw,nosuid, nodev,relative,date=ordered,uhelper=udisks2)

I don't have the 482 GB drive in fstab. It was disconnected during the 
install, since I put a bunch of stuff there I want to copy to the main 
drive now that the install is finished. I just mount it as needed by 
clicking on it in Caja's Devices list.
