Well, below I will provide some more detailed information about my problem:
"mount / unmount does not work":
As root I did:
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /mnt/BackupSystem
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda3 /mnt/BackupDisk
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/WinDisk
cd /mnt; mount floppy
cd /mnt; mount cdrom
umount -a
All these hang. Still the root file system gets mounted at boot.
I also tried to use the kde desktop mount icons ( floppy & cdrom )
without success.
I can boot Windows and I can boot the backup linux system
and from the backup system on hda2 I can mount my current
linux system ( hdc2 ), but not vice versa.
The "mount" binary is fine. I did also copy a mount binary from
the minimal backup system to the troubled system. This copied and intact
binary did not work either.
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 52788 Apr 17 1999 /bin/mount
So the mount binary is fine, the target file systems are OK, the
file systems are correctly set, and
device files do exist and ls -l gives identical (except for dates)
output on a correctly working system.
? Does this trouble relate to the RPC service or to amd?
Maybe mount needs some daemon to be running?
