What happens?
I added the following line manually to the /etc/mtab file : /dev/hdc2 /var ext2 rw 0 0 When I restart with a boot-floppy distribution (tomsrtbt). I typed fsck.ext2 /dev/hdc2 on the prompt there. And I got the message that the drive is clean. When I restart my PC and I start the debian distribution. I got on startup : ... /dev/hdc2 on /var type ext2 (rw) ... Parallelizing fsck version 1.15 (18 Jul 1999) /dev/hdc2 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced /dev/hdc2 555/26208 files (13.0% non-contiguous), 6862/104422 blocks After loggin in and doing "df", the /var filesystems still doesn't appear. I really have no idea what the problem might be ... Kind Regards, -- Thomas
