Error - mount: LABEL=pub Duplicate - not mounted

  Barry,

  You probably have two disk partitions with the label of "pub" on them and the
 system doesn't know which one you want mounted.  You can either change the
 /etc/fstab to use /dev names or find the partition which should not be mounted
 and change it's label to something unique.

 # /sbin/e2label /dev/hda6
 /pub
 # /sbin/e2label /dev/hda6 /oldpub
 #

  Personally, I change the fstab entries to use the actual device name rather
 than the labels because of problems like this.

  Good luck,
  Dave Gavin
