I have just seen the reference to blkid -

bill at Lucy:/etc$ blkid
/dev/sda1: LABEL="Thomas" UUID="b4949738-9386-466e-aefb-705948c0d467"
TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="cc7461d9-25a6-4f3f-b863-3b964873ccb5" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdb5: UUID="9aae57d0-01aa-4152-b848-2186c131d6b7" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sdb6: UUID="dd351cd8-79f9-479b-8297-65cbc834cc28" TYPE="ext4"
bill at Lucy:/etc$

So am I correct in assuming that adding the line

UUID=dd351cd8-79f9-479b-8297-65cbc834cc28 /home ext4 defaults 0 2

would solve my problem? Do I need "defaults 0 2 at the end?
