I notice fstab that LABEL=/ is for /bvkupdrv. That didn't seem right so 
I changed it to /dev/hdb1 for /bckupdrv. I don't knwo if that will help 
-- it hasn't seemed to. I stuill only have around 1 GB accessible on the 
6 GB partition. I even deleted the partition in fdisk (including w to 
write the change to the table), rebooted and it's still there. Bot, I'm 
gonna learn a lot from this one.
