Partitions being mounted in fc8

[don vogt]

Here is the answer to a request. It doesn't mean
anything to me. I guess I have some research to do. I
remember seeing some odd error messages somewhat like
that when I was having problems with NetworkManager.

 I will try fstab first, but they are not in ther at
all now.

Gnome

They are shown as labeled icons, but there are eight
of them.

In case it matters, I recently installed from the
livecd and then ran a yum update. I didn't notice when
the icons appeared
