NEED Help Linux Gurus! Linux Error....

[Chronic321]

I am running Red Hat 7.3 and KDE 3.0. A few minutes ago I configured my fstab file to support my zip drive. My zip drive works now but every time I start my computer and when I want to access the drive I get this error (it does not prevent me from reading the drive or booting up but is annoying)
[mntent] warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab

Here is what is in my fstab file:

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

The bold is what I just added in for my zip drive, thanks..

Not to be a smartass, but the error message is telling you exactly what is wrong.

When you edited the fstab file, you somehow lost the newline @ the end of the file. Many programs don't like it when a file doesn't end in a blank line ... its an indication that the file may have been truncated somehow.

Just add a blank line at the end of the file and the error message should go away.
