hi

my system won't come online and it only mounted the root partition.  How do i manually boot the other partitions like /var/ or /usr  ?   what could be the cause of this? see logs below..

 

thanks,

sirjune

as i mentioned earlier, my linux box RH AS2.1 came up with only the root partition mounted. i got console access only. no ssh. no services are running.

i run fdisk -l  and i got the list of my partitions.  i manually mounted /var /usr /tmp  /export  /boot   .  SSH and Apache are now running. seems the system is ok for now.

 

 

df -k shows:

# df -k

my /etc/fstab:

LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/tmp              /tmp                 &n bsp;  ext3    defaults        1 2

/dev/sda7               /data                   ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/sdb1               /export                 ext3    defaults        1 2

 

Question now is why the other filesystems are not mounted automatically?  Should i edit /etc/fstab  and use the device names (/dev/sda?)  instead of the LABEL?

 

 

thanks,

sirjune

 

Do you see errors in dmesg?
