I'm trying to get out of the 'windows reboot habit' everytime I make a subtle change in linux. I haven't been able to work out HOW I can make linux reload /etc/fstab after I make a change to it without rebooting.

mount -a will remount everything in the fstab.

Thanks

When I do a "mount -a" nothing in my /etc/fstab is remounted and I get the following error:



My share names shouldn't be invalid if they worked fine in the /etc/fstab normally. I just want to be able to remount them if I reboot the remote machine and I don't want to have to reboot my myth box.

if you run mount by itself it'll show what is mounted. I bet you will find that the shares are still mounted. that does not mean they will work. linux really doesn't like having shares go away while they are mounted. you could try umount them and then run mount -a again.
