Hi Dave, >Also, what is the meaning of the numeral 1 at the end of >each label name i.e. boot1, var1, /usr/local1 It could be there was already an installed filesystem or grub-file on the disk, detected by the new installation. RedHat follows it up with an extra "1". You can change this with tune2fs. # Mounting What you can do is to modify the /etc/fstab with hardcoded lines from disk to mountpoints and test this works better after boot and 'mount -a'. Also check your logfiles (dmesg, boot and messages) why the system have some problems to mount the partitions. Check the /etc/grub maybe there is a conflict with pointing to the right filesystem (like '/' or '/1'). good luck. regards Ron. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Dave Martini Sent: Thu 28-1-2010 22:59 To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Volume won't mount at bootup Would there be any reason why a file system would not mount after the system reboots? I have a /Users partition that doesn't automount. I can manually mount it after the system comes up though. $ df -klh Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 29G 7.1G 20G 27% / /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 19G 542M 18G 3% /var /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 19G 173M 18G 1% /usr/local /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 965M 30M 886M 4% /boot tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /dev/shm /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 312G 195M 296G 1% /u01 [root@07 ~]$ more /etc/fstab LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/var1 /var ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/usr/local1 /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/Users1 /Users ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 LABEL=SW-cciss/c0d0p7 swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=u01 /u01 ext3 defaults 1 2 [root@07 ~]$ blkid /dev/cciss/c0d0p7: LABEL="SW-cciss/c0d0p7" TYPE="swap" /dev/cciss/c0d0p6: LABEL="/var1" UUID="e6c6371a-a245-448f-a609-8c93afa6e3a5" TYPE="ext3" /dev/cciss/c0d0p5: LABEL="/usr/local1" UUID="ab00c496-37cc-4dac-aed5-b75360aa6879" TYPE="ext3" /dev/cciss/c0d0p3: LABEL="/Users1" UUID="41203a35-78a4-410d-85d2-4df248bd5bd0" TYPE="ext3" /dev/cciss/c0d0p2: LABEL="/1" UUID="8714323c-ac28-44c0-aee5-eb8dd0405b38" TYPE="ext3" /dev/cciss/c0d0p1: LABEL="/boot1" UUID="2d851c67-f8aa-4144-b8f4-d0ce72c97a3d" TYPE="ext3" /dev/cciss/c0d1p1: LABEL="u01" UUID="3f58f29e-3364-48c1-9e63-ad20381ed664" TYPE="ext3" Also, what is the meaning of the numeral 1 at the end of each label name i.e. boot1, var1, /usr/local1 I can manually mount /Users as such [root@07 ~]$ mount /Users [root@07 ~]$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 29753588 7401328 20816448 27% / /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 19840892 554564 18262188 3% /var /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 19840892 176348 18640404 1% /usr/local /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 19840924 176212 18640572 1% /Users /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 988088 29824 907260 4% /boot tmpfs 8219384 0 8219384 0% /dev/shm /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 326823132 199504 310021908 1% /u01 /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 19840924 176212 18640572 1% /Users Also, why when I umount -a and then mount -a not all file systems get mounted?
