stange fstab

[exd]

Hi !

My gentoo working, but something is strange, only /boot / and /tmpfs seems to be mounted.

and the really interresing thing is I have not an entry for /tmpfs in my fstab
But my swap deseaper too ?

An explication ?


Sorry for my English, I'm french...

Could you post the contents of your fstab file?

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns of atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.

# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.

/dev/hda1 / ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/hda6 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). Adding the following
# line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will use almost no
# memory if not populated with files)

#tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

What's the output of fdisk -l /dev/hda?

Gentoo see my openbsd partition, but this fdisk is really stange...i

dsk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 3649 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes


16 partitions:
# start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 37996 40006 2011 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16

Do you have devfs support enabled in the kernel? I thought that was a requirement for running Gentoo and there isn't any entry for it in your fstab

i had the same problem here and can give u only one advise: don't use gentoo's fdisk for the hdd, where u have an openbsd partition installed; i have got all the stuff compilled in which is needed to handle openbsd partitions, still it doesn't work

i used an older fdisk which is on my slakware cd to create linux partitions;

cheers

What is the size of your hard drive? Does it really have 255 heads, or did you copy the information from fdisk wrong?

If you copied the info from fdisk correctly, then at least part of the problem is that fdisk needs to be told the correct number of cylinders, heads and sectors/track. Use the help menu.

I'm thinking that's not really the problem.

my system is fonctionnal, and when I try to do a mount /dev/hda5 (for exemple) that's work.

but fstab seems to be inexistant for the system...
