Ubuntu no longer likes to mount me

I started an edgy eft (Ubuntu 6.06) to feisty fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) upgrade at the weekend. All seemed to go well apart from, it no longer likes my fstab file for auto mounting disks. I have my home directory on a different partition and auto mount it using the fstab file. It no longer works. I spent about an hour trying to figure out why but to no avail. I can see the parition in /dev fine (/dev/sda2) but when I mount it - there's nothing there. I'll try with a live CD (I have to unplug one of my monitors first). Has anyone had any issues like this?

    I’m not sure, but I think there was a change in the way ubuntu mounts drives around that time. I’d check to see if fstab is even valid for the newer ubuntu’s.

    I don’t recall having this problem myself, but I have vague half recollections of a change to do with mounting. Of course it may be nothing to do with this. Amusing title btw.
