Hi
I've lost a partition, and now when fc4 boots up it asks me to fsck
it, even though its not there. I would like to remove the label from
fstab, but it won't let me because the filesystem is mounted as
read-only. In addition I don't have a cdrom or floppy attached to the
server. Is there a way for me to fix this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Assuming that you didn't setup your filesystem to be read-only, boot
into single user, by hitting the "a" key in the grub screen, and
pressing "1", followed by <enter> and "b". when you get to the # prompt
you should be able to edit your fstab with vi or such ( don't rely on
everything you usually have to be accessible in single user mode. you
only have access to / partition and /boot iirc, so if you have separate
/usr /home etc. those will not be mounted.
