Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2005 5:27 am Post subject: [Fixed] Error Mounting Root? - Was cause by typo in fstab |
|
|
Hello!
I just installed Linux for a friend. Dual Opteron system, 64 bit. I've never done 64 bit before (if it matters).
When he boots, it gets to the "remounting root filesystem as read only", errors on that (!!) instead of (OK). Same on the Remounting as read-write.
IT can either do "maitinance mode" or boot in. Either way, / is read only.
/dev/hda = windows drive
/dev/hdb1 = 100mb ext3 boot
/dev/hdb2 = 900mb swap
/dev/hdb3 = 39000 mb reiserfs /
/dev/hdb4 = unformated, ntfs someday for windows stuff.
WHen i first installed, i typo'd the /etc/fstab to "reiser" instead of "reiserfs" - i booted the livecd and fixed that now though.
Any clue why his hard drive won't mount read-write?
I can mount it if booted from the livecd no problem.

# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't

# switch between notail / tail freely.

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

Code: | livecd / # emerge -p reiserfsprogs
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!

Maybe thats the issue; replace with notail _________________ Nothing is secure / Security is always a trade-off with usability / Do not assume anything / Trust no-one, nothing / Paranoia is your friend / Think for yourself |
