/etc/vfstab
If i wish to make a mount permanent, is it /etc/vfstab that i have to the entry add to? If so does anybody know the syntax, ie. is it tab or space delimited ? etc etc

any help would be greatly appreciated

What are you running on?

If it's Linux, look for the /etc/fstab file to see how other devices are mounted. Type man mount for more information on the Linux command.

Other operating systems will most likely have different files to edit..
