Thanks for the response:)

Well is followed your directions and still can't see /kent in /home. 
Here is how my disk is partitioned out:

Redhat
hdb1 /
hdb5 /usr
hdb6 /home
hdb7 /usr/local
hdb8 /var
hdb9 swap

Slink
hdb3  /
hdb13 /usr
hdb12 /usr/local
hdb11 /home
hdb10 /var

This is what my /etc/fstab file looks like on my Debian side:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options>                  <dump>
<pas
/dev/hdb3       /             ext2   defaults,errors=remount-ro 0      1
/dev/hdb9       none          swap   sw                         0      0
proc            /proc         proc   defaults                   0      0
/dev/hdb13 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb12 /usr/local ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb11 /home ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb10 /var ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdd /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,users 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy ext2 noauto,ro,users 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy/vfat vfat noauto,ro,users 0 0

/dev/hdb1       /mnt/rh     ext2   noauto,rw,nouser 0 0

/dev/hdb6       /mnt/rh/home/     ext2   noauto,rw,nouser 0 0


I don't know if that will shed any light or not.  I haven't been through
every spec of the directory tree once I mount the Redhat side but mostly
I can see everything but /local in /usr and /kent in /home, i.e. I can
see /usr and /home but inside there is no /local or /kent.
Thanks,
kent
