I did this ... > $ umount -a # unmount all file systems in /etc/mtab except /proc Therefore I had to add the line "/dev/hdc2 /var ext2 rw 0 0" in my /etc/mtab file again. Otherwise this operation won't have any effect on the /var filesystem > $ mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc2 /var # mount /dev/hdc2 on /var This worked ;-) > $ ls /var # list the contents of var I can list the contents of my filesytem. > $ mount # another way to get a list of what's mounted The /var partition isn't in the list of mounted partitions > $ cat /proc/mounts # and another Here, the /var partition is listed ! > $ du -s /var # summarized size of /var The /var partition is also listed here ! > It is a little strange that it appears to get mounted at boot, but then > doesn't show up. You're not getting any error messages? > It's indeed very strange, i have no idea how to fix this, and i don't get any other error message on startup ... Tnx a lot in advance for any help ...
