Thanks for your help. Problem solved. I used rescue disk, and the file /etc/fstab is now editable. thanks! On 4/15/07, Sean McGlynn <sean_mcglynn@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
This is all off of the top of my head, so I could be off somewhere, but.... You say it's dropping you into "a repair mode"--perhaps using the installation media to start in its repair mode and then mounting root that way will allow you to edit the file. Then, don't use the label and see if it works using /dev/hda6. I've had problems with labels before that were basically unexplainable (at face value--I didn't bother researching too much). ----- Original Message ---- From: Ahmed Mohamed <ajmoham@xxxxxxxxx> To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2007 1:55:04 AM Subject: /etc/fstab error Hi all, I am using fedora 6. I have edited file /etc/fstab file by adding to the following line: LABEL=/download /download ext3 defaults 1 2 I have succeeded mounting it on /dev/hda6 and accessed files on this partition but when I later rebooted the system it dropped to a repair mode. As a root I have tried to restore the file (/etc/fstab) back to its original state but the it is always read-only mode. I have tried to chmod it (a=rw), I have checked the file attrributes using chattr /etc/fstab,I have saved it with :wq! . Nothing worked. any suggests? thank you -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
