Summary: Install programs incorrectly cope with reiserfs to Ext3
in /etc/fstab
Product: mandrake-release
Version: 9.2-0.1mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: mandrake-release
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If, as I had, you install 9.2 onto an existing partion that has the Reiserfs on
it, but decide to overwrite this with Ext3, during the install, the file
/etc/fstab is setup incorrectly. The partion in question is given the "notail"
option in /etc/fstab , this causes Linux to be unable to mount the Ext3 partion
and the boot fails.
My way round this was to boot using an exiting copy of Linux and amend
/etc/fstab by hand, before rebooting, successfully, into Mandrake 9.2
regards
Tony
