So you figured out how to get everything back up and running. That's good. The next thing to do is to figure out why your system got that way in the first place. Usually it's power outage (if that's what it was, invest in a good UPS, maybe a generator, and set up linux to halt the system if UPS power goes very low and your generator hasn't come online yet). If it wasn't power, then possibly someone turned the box off without shutdown? you need to figure out how to deal with that. If it wasn't some rogue finger, then your task gets harder. something in your system turned the box off without shutdown. did you get a kernel panic? did your server overheat and the motherboard turned itself off? is your system RAM going bad? (run memtest), is some other hardware failing? etc. you'll need to find out what caused that and fix it, else you'll continue getting this sort of thing every once in a while. good luck. tiger > > > df -k shows: > # df -k > Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on > /dev/sda3 4127108 1798540 2118920 46% / > /dev/sdb1 141106132 124399660 9538676 93% /export > /dev/sda6 1548096 420392 1048988 29% /var > /dev/sda2 5162828 2954128 1946440 61% /usr > /dev/sda1 101089 19061 76809 20% /boot > /dev/sda7 57021344 32884 54091944 1% /data > /dev/sda8 505605 9291 470210 2% /tmp > > my /etc/fstab: > LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 > LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 > LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 > LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 > LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2 > /dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 > /dev/sda7 /data ext3 defaults 1 2 > /dev/sdb1 /export ext3 defaults 1 2 > > > > Question now is why the other filesystems are not mounted automatically? > Should i edit /etc/fstab and use the device names (/dev/sda?) instead of > the LABEL? > > > thanks, > sirjune > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Sir June <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Technical Discussion List > <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 9:22:07 PM > Subject: [plug] LABEL=/var > > > hi > my system won't come online and it only mounted the root partition.
