Yes, this is what happens. I can add the /www to /var, but it always makes me wonder why it doesn't just appear as /var/www (as it had been mounted last time). > > I think I have witnessed what you do, as in /boot, /, and /home > sometimes show up as /boot1, /1, and /home1. I never knew why/how it > did that. I usually have two installs of fedora on my laptop. One is the current stable (which I often use until test2) and the other is rawhide (which I usually adopt around test2). They toggle from partition to partition since I'll upgrade rawhide to f8 and then f7 will become rawhide (hope that makes sense). Both installs use the same /var/www, /mnt/vmware, /home and swap partitions and I have separate / and /boot partitions for one install, and a / partition which includes /boot for the other. Since fedora uses labels, it labels the second / as '/1'. What's happening is I'm seeing some of my already mounted partitions (/var/www and /mnt/vmware) and I'm also seeing the / and /boot partitions (not mounted) from the other install. I'm not sure I want to be seeing partitions from the other install and I know I don't need to be seeing partitions that are mounted as part of the filesystem I'm using. Strangely, I'm not seeing /home in the list. R. -- "It's a fine line between denial and faith.
