Hi
When building a RH 7.0 system I made a mistake in regard to
misnaming a mount point for a file system. I intended the mount point
to be /usr/share but (at Xam I typed /var/share.
Initially, in /etc/fstab it appeared as
LABEL=/var/share /var/share ext2 defaults 1 2
which I thought was a bit strange because I anticipated
something like
/dev/sda7 /var/share ext2 defaults 1 2
In order to correct this mistake I had to remove the LABEL=/ entries in
fstab and replace them with the names of the disk partitions I wanted the
mount points to be located thereon (i.e. apealing to the "old-style" layut
. It wasn't as simple as merely changing the LABLE=/entry.
Also, reading at man mount and man fstab no mention is made of the
new fstab layout which stikes me as odd also. A man -k doesnt
yield anything useful either
The system seems to be ok with a rejiged /etc/fstab (using the old style)
/dev/sda7 /usr/share ext2 defaults 1 2
although, via the bootup messages, bootup the system mounted is referred
to as /var/share so the system is picking the original mountpoint name
from "somewhere". BTW I coudn't see anything obvious in the rc...
boot files either
any comments ?
cheers,
Kyle Hargraves
