Cause of disappearing mount points in FC5

no idea. if its the power management, I guess it should also show same
behavior with my harddrive with ext3 drive where FC5 is installed.

no nothing? when it disappears, its completely gone from scene. I have
symbolic link to my home directory and these too show blank. However I
can remount it manually after that happens with root permission. These
brings the mount point back but without read or write permission to
general users.

by the way I have mounted these drive with write permission to users in fstab:
====================
/dev/hdd1               /mnt/common             vfat
rw,defaults,umask=0000 0 0
/dev/hdb1               /mnt/gameiso            ntfs
ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0
====================

Another clue I found is:
==================
I have some movies stored in my /mnt/common. It happens (usually but
not sure that it happens everytime) when I play these movies with
mplayer.


Any Clue?????
