<Fixed-Thank you everyone>Adding Partition to fstab

Thanks Old-Polack. Sometimes explaining things to me is like driving nails with donuts and my explanations are in even stickier. Your summary was correct and I am closing in on a solution hopefully. Need to try a couple of things and I will be back.

Heaven knows, you'd probably do better if you just explained where you are now, then answered a few questions that explanation brought to mind, rather than risk mucking it up worse. That's how all this started... remember?

Fixed. It was the UID. Thank you all for the help.

So my wild guess wasn't that wild after all!   Even if O-P explained everything better.

Your success is a relief for us all.

Nope, it was right on.

Well I'm glad you got it sorted too.

Years ago, I was running a number of different distros. Some started their UIDs with 500, others with 1000. To keep things simple, more started with 1000, so I chose on the others to use 1000 also. You are allowed to choose any UID you like during the first boot user creation. While I only run PCLinuxOS these days, I still use UID 1000 for my user on all new installations, because all my data, on all partitions, on all hard drives, is owned by 1000:1000, and it's easier to set the desired UID on first boot than to change ownership on 10 years worth of data. Just a thought, to remind you to check for which UID your user is being assigned by default, when you create that user, and let you know you don't have to accept that default if you choose not to.
