Re: Maxtor One Touch III with Fedora Core

It was formated NTFS.
I reformatted ext3.

Made an fstab entry -> /dev/sdc /home/me/REPOSITORY ext3 defaults 1 1

Now my machine does not boot properly.

It fails a filesystem check and I get the error "fsck.exts:: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdc1"

I am then prompted for pass word for repair, but I am unsure as to how to proceed. What do I do now.... I entered the root password, and tried to edit /etc/fstab to remove the above mentioned entry, but /etc/fstab is read only and i can't save the changes.

Yep. I got the same drive, and needed to reformat it to ext3. I used fdisk to
delete the exsting partition and make a new empty one, then mkfs to format
it to ext3 (not sure all that was necessary - mkfs might have been willing
to wipe out ntfs and replace it).

It has been working great for me.

If you want it automatically mounted at boot time, you will also need to
make an fstab entry for it.
