I have a r5c7 box wirelessly connected to the main network. Since I am lazy about moving recordings from the mythtv box to the main network data server large amounts of data accumulates on the mythtv box. In order not to
have to transmit so may gigs over the wireless I have a usb 2 powered harddrive that I partitioned half for ntfs (in case I want to transport stuff from the windows world), and half is ext3 (to take to the windows world via an ext2-3 read only driver). The system works great. The issue i'm having is since I partitioned and formated the ext3 part of the usb 2 drive on the mythtv box it keeps asking for it at boot time. In order to complete the boot process I have to do a "control-d" to complete boot up.

A minor pain but I'm sure there must be a way to tell the mythtv box to not worry about the non existant (when the usb drive is not plugged in) partition. I don't care if fsck is run or not.

The partition it asks for is the /dev/sda2 /myth/video/wdext3 one.

Here is my fstab :

/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda3 /myth ext3 defaults,auto 0 2
