As you seem to be unable to have a physical access to the server, I suppose you can not go to single user mode. If you try "init S" or "init 1", you will probably loose you network connection. I would certainly try this : 1 - mount the "/" (root) partition a second time on a mount point (ie on /mnt) as Linux can do this. On this second mount point, you will not have the sub-filesystem "sdc1" mounted on /mnt/usr. So you will be able to alter /usr on the root FS. 2 - rsync the bad /usr (sdc1) on /mnt/usr (it will theorically copy the contents of /usr (sdc1) on /usr (root), behind the one mounted from sdc1 3 - if sdc hangs, reboot and resume from (1), it will resume the copy 4 - remove the "/usr" line in the fstab ; 5 - reboot (the sdc1 fs will not be mounted over /usr) But this solution SHOULD work IN THEORY !!! I never tried it. someone might have a better idea. Fanfan -- http://www.cerbelle.net - http://www.afdm-idf.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
