How to auto mount file system at boot

[StickyBit]

I have added the following entry to /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda4 /oracle ext3 defaults 1 2

When I reboot the /dev/sda4 is not mounted...What am I doing wrong? Do I have to assign a LABEL to the /dev/sda4 partition? How to do this?

Thanks,

Stickybit.

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda4 /oracle ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda2 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

If the filesystem is ext3, then I see no other reason than the mountpoint /oracle doesn't exist. Is that it??

The mountpoint /oracle does exist...
