Ur syntax seems to be correct. When you execute mount /dev/sdb1
/media/usbfixedhd manually it works right?

For more info about fstab, please see the below link

 How should that entry appear? I tried one with
"/dev/sdb1  /media/usbfixedhd  ext3  defaults  0 0"

But that didn't worked when I rebooted it. Of course /media/usbfixedhd
likely didn't exist since the shutdown would have removed it on
dismount.

Hi,

 Make an entry in /etc/fstab so that while bootup the disk drive
will be mounted automatically. By default root file system will be there
in /etc/fstab. Similarly do it for the new ext3 partition.

Thanks,
Krishnaprasad
