I've got a server running CentOS 4.2; installed as 4.1, kept updated by
yum.
A few days ago it crashed.
I picked it up from the datacenter, and brought it back to the office,
where it took a long time to boot because it couldn't find anything.
When it finally booted and I logged in I discovered an interesting
problem.
Only the / partition had loaded. /etc/fstab had all the partitions
recognized by their labels.
Checking the hard drives showed the labels existed. I even rewrote the
disk labels.
But the boot procedure couldn't find the drives by their labels.
Nor can a "mount -a" command; it says it can't find the info in fstab
(though it _is_ there).
But long version mount commands work.
And when I redo the fstab file to list the devices rather than labels,
everything mounts as it should.
Any ideas?
Jeff
