This is confusing. Have you got two drives or three? Is /home on one drive and /usr/local on the other? Or do you have three drives, one with / and /boot, and two more, each with /home and /usr/local? If the latter, to what point? > Both of these disks have their IDs set to 6. You did not say whether the two disks are on the same SCSI bus. If so, their having the same ID is an error. Or are you swapping them in and out? ID doesn't matter except in the order in which Linux assigns device file names, so I would change the ID of one of them to 5 or 7 to be safe. > When I boot the system with disk A, disk A can be found and > the boot succeeds.

Can you boot, and read all three drives? Have you checked to be sure that the /home and /usr/local partitions all have identical partition labels? i.e. that both /home partitions have the same label, and that it is the one that /etc/fstab calls out? Can you boot to a single floppy distribution like tomsrtbt, and read B? > Other than the possibility that disk B is bad, what else > could be the cause? > > The boot disk is a 7500rpm Quantum. > Disk A is a 10000rpm Maxtor. > Disk B is a 7500rpm Quantum. > Back in my RedHat 9 days, the system used both Quantum disks. > > Thanks > > Richard > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
