I don't know why it's trying to mount that partition at boot, but I do
know a workaround. First, create a mountpoint, such as /mnt/foo. Then,
add a line to /etc/fstab, mounting the partition there, but instead of
using the default options, use noauto users. This will keep it from
mounting at boot, but if you want to look at what's there, you can mount
it as an ordinary user. HTH, HAND.
I'll bear it in mind, but given that this is /home, it should be
mounted anyway (and in fact it is, see my reply to Ed).
