Let me clarify: At boot time when all of the entries in fstab are normally mounted, the duplicates in the fstab are not mounted. The duplicate entries are a result of the following: As an example, I entered a 'ls -ltr /usr/oracle' and a single line containing 0 was returned (it should have at least showed the lost+found directory entry). I then entered 'sudo mount -a'; and received many messages stating that there are missing mount points. As an example I entered 'sudo mkdir -p /usr/oracle' I then entered: 'sudo mount /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV00 /usr/oracle' (from my fstab entry) At this point is when I realized that there are now duplicate entries in fstab, however, /usr/oracle is available and usable. I hope this clarifies my situation. Thanks, Gene Poole gene.poole@xxxxxxxxx Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI wrote: > I am not seeing what the problem is. You say IT all works fine on > FC6.
