[SOLVED]Partitions won't automount

Hi all,

I have some problems with mounting partitions, and I'm wondering whether it is related to the automounting in kde (hald??). I'm running kubuntu edgy, btw. This is a copy of /etc/fstab

Source code

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hdd1

# /dev/hda2

# /dev/hda7

# /dev/hdd4
UUID=7f1c6c4e-1160-464f-886a-4ac6c0fd6325 /home/ab/hdd4 reiserfs nouser,defaults,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 2
# /dev/hda6

# /dev/hda3
UUID=3bfbd205-be82-417c-afd3-394361268f0f none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0

Basically, hdd1 is /, hda2 is /boot, hda3 swap and hda6 is /home. These get mounted at
boot time just fine. Of the others, hda1 is windows, hda5 and hda7 my old gentoo install,
and hdd2, hdd3 and hdd4 data partitions, don't get mounted unless I do so manually. Now,
I see no difference in options between hda6 and hdd3, so I wonder why the first gets
mounted at boot time, and the other doesn't. Don't get it really. Any help?

RE: Partitions won't automount

Ok, got the answer here.
Apparently, it's an order issue. The partitions which didn't get mounted were listed in /etc/fstab
before the /home partition, meaining they failed to mount because their directories didn't exist
yet.
