The server when IPL, comes up in maintenance mode which is read only. I need to get the system to where I can either move the old fstab file back in, or edit the current fstab in vi. How can I get the system in such a mode....

I guess you'd put some disk on fstab, and it doesn't come online, putting your system on read-only rescue mode. If I am right, you can do this: *mount -o remount,rw /* *grep -v 'problematic disk' /etc/fstab > /etc/fstab.1* *cat /etc/fstab.1* if the new fstab is fine, do this: *mv /etc/fstab.1 /etc/fstab* *reboot* Mauro http://mauro.limeiratem.com - registered Linux User: 294521 Scripture is both history, and a love letter from God.
