However after the crash and a reboot I got a message like this on bootup:
/dev/hdb1 is already mounted, aborting
It's strange for the system to mess up mount order. fstab doesn't have a
noauto option, so the only way to get that error is for something to
mount everything, and then for something else to explicitly mount hdb1
again.
check on startup flags for those filesystems. Now the system boots up
fine and mounts those filesystems, but neither "df" or "mount" show them
as being mounted.
mount only shows the contents of /etc/mtab. If your rott fs is read-only
that file can't be updated. To get a precise idea of what's really
mounted, look into /proc/mounts. Perhaps df does something similar to
find mounted filesystems.
Ah yes, /proc/mounts does show up the other mounted partitions. I'll
try rebooting with a liveCD and fscking the / partition.
thanks,
