   I noticed that when installing Ubuntu v15.04 I have problems mounting   
   additional   
   HDD's. Ubuntu errors out during bootup after fstab is edited to mount the   
   partitioned and formated HD. This HD mounted fine with v14.10 of Ubuntu on the   
   same PC. I am mounting the HD via it's UUID. I also tried via it's device   
   designator. Using the same FSTAB file contents works ok with V14.10 of Ubuntu.   
      
   Still checking out the OS installation. I haven't installed any BBS or service   
   applications yet. Looks like I will be going back to v14.10 for now.
