Here is what is in my fstab file:
/dev/hda8 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda7 /var ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda9 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto
sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
It looks correct to me. I don't know why it tries to detect 2 additional hard
drives. It would not be so bad if it would not take 1-2 minutes to do that. On
top of that (To add insult to injury), it tries to optimize them and errors out...
Argh... This only happens on 3 of my boxes. I currently running 10 boxes and the
other 7 have no problems. The only factor that is common between the 3 boxes are
they are the same type of computer. I need to figure out how to manipulate the
boot routine to tell it not to try checking for 2 non-existing hard drives. The 3
boxes that have the problem are PIII 550 with 512 Meg of ram and 2-27 GIG HDs.
They are the new boxes I just purchased. The other 7 are old pieces of sh*t that
I picked up at $50 each. They seem to have fewer problems then the new ones do...
