I am rewriting files and they have gone well but I have a problem.
Here is my fstab file that almost works fine:
# Start
/dev/hdb5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdb7 /fc4 ext3 noauto, user 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 none swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb3 none swap defaults 0 0
# End
The problem is the second line which should let user mount /dev/hdb7 on
/fc4 but it will not work. Here is what I get when I try it:
[karl@k5d ~]$ mount /fc4
[mntent]: line 3 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: can't find /fc4 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[karl@k5d ~]$
There is a lot of information there. Alas it isn't helping me. Line 3
worked fine on Red Hat 9 and should here I think. If you see my folly
please let me know.
The options should only be separated by a comma, not a comma and space.
So:
/dev/hdb7 /fc4 ext3 noauto, user 0 0
should be:
/dev/hdb7 /fc4 ext3 noauto,user 0 0

Hi Steve you are exactly right! Now it works fine :-)
Little errors are sure hard to find.
