Comment 2 for bug 81610

i'll trying :-) i have only 'normal' /etc/fstab .

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#

i have not currupted fstab. but i can tell what partition of external USB hdd was added in this file . it's a simply add in file like this

/dev/sdb1 /media/some vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,auto,rw,nouser 0 1

it can thinking what i run disk management utilities and manually add partition of this HDD.
after loading os i disconnect my usb hdd and run this disk manager. in normal sutiation my external disk will not be here. i see only internal hdd. when i plug usb hdd he will be in this manager. after unplug he will not see here. but here i see: hdd is not present(it's ok) but record about this disk is present. and when i run konqueror then normally i can see my hard disk devices as "hard disk <volume>Gb" (or some thing. i dont know what is like in english version). but here i see names of this partiton "sda1", "sda2"... i correct manually /etc/fstab by deleting wrong string (only external hdd) and reboot. my computer after it was good :-) and all ok
