John,

   Two questions:

   1) What is the reference to that device in /etc/fstab?

   2) When you run 'sudo tail -f /var/log/messages' and connect (or turn on)
 	that unit how does the kernel see that drive? I could be /dev/sdc/
 	or /dev/sdc1/. The drive referenced to the mount point needs to
 	match what /var/log/messages shows.

Regards,

Rich
