RE: fstab corrupted
RULE 1: make a backup of any system file edited.
RULE 2: Read rule 1. Looking at all your posts - you need to have a GOOD backup plan. We will not help you forever with non Xbian related issues. Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

All issues on XBian are XBian related, it's not like they asked how to setup Ubuntu  Creating backups of files you edit is the best advice.

RE: fstab corrupted
Yep, and i managed to fix it (if anyone else will have such a problem):
Download ubuntu live CD, start your PC using this and insert SD Card. edit files using sudo and youre good to go

RE: fstab corrupted
Good tip - thanks for that.
However, it shouldn't be necessary :-) Pressing space during boot should put you into a rescue shell, ditto putting rescue in cmdline.txt. Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.
