External Firewire Drives and Booting up
Good Morning, I have a Linux box with two external firewire drives hooked up. The issue I am having is if I reboot or if we are hit by a power outage and I need to bring the system back online, it fails because it does not recognize the firewire drives. The error message says /dev/sda1 is an invalid block device. To fix this problem, I just make a copy of /etc/fstab and then remove the entries for the firewire drives, then reboot system. After system comes back up, I then move the copied version of /etc/fstab back and do a mount -a and the firewire drives are again useable. This seems to be just a bit to much work since I have to do this as root and since I am the only person with the password it could cause problems if I am not here. (Everyone else has sudo privileges and there is no other sysad types here). Is there something I can do where I can eliminate these steps and have the system boot naturally and mount the firewire drives during the boot process? Thank you in advance, Tom
Re: XF86Config file question - Nvidia Driver
Hi Colin, Ah "Init 5" I already forgot it. I learned it from starting "Single User" mode ctrl+alt+f1 (or f2, f3 -f6) init 1 # init 5(Return to default desktop) Lot of thanks for your advice. I think I have to put more effort on command line rather than GUI B.R.

Title: RE: shut down problem I haven't been following this thread, but 'init 0' is what I use to shutdown my linux servers completely.

Yes it can, but only if your /etc/fstab entry is set up to allow it. You need to include the "user" option where you probably now have "owner". In addition, you probably want to include "nosuid" and "noexec".
