The following /etc/fstab will cause Fedora-17 to crash into maintenance mode during the boot process: # # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Thu May 31 03:46:19 2012 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info # UUID=af00b8ae-193d-47b4-b0cd-ac6b61c310c8 / ext4 defaults 1 1 UUID=d210f7ff-648a-4850-967e-f2b730765f1d /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 UUID=b715c378-9006-46b4-b439-3c6fa870e990 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 UUID=7f502361-16af-4b6f-98e0-23a1bd17bcb6 /var ext4 defaults 1 2 UUID=E0649EB1649E8A44 /mnt/c ntfs gid=ntfs,umask=007 0 0 # <===== UUID=1f4afb3a-051d-4cce-9c86-14cf111e669a swap swap defaults 0 0 However if the marked line (for the mount point /mnt/c) is commented out, the system starts fine.
