The problem is I'm a SuSE man so I'm used to messing about with fstab. This is the reason it's become buggered apparently, I shouldn't have touched fstab at all!!!
So much for "Everything is a file" and what's this "Shouldn't touch fstab" ?
Um I'll bite me lip

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
