You will notice below that the file system that I mounted manually, produces 2 entries in fstab. And when you reboot the machine while it is going down produces an error for each duplicated entry. Here is the /etc/fstab: Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/SysVG00-SysLV00 3069 389 2523 14% / /dev/sda1 996 47 898 5% /boot tmpfs 1985 0 1985 0% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV04 3968 181 3583 5% /usr/tomcat /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV02 3968 611 3153 17% /usr/java /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV00 3968 137 3627 4% /usr/apache /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV05 5952 141 5505 3% /usr/workspace /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV03 3968 517 3247 14% /usr/jboss /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV01 3968 296 3468 8% /usr/eclipse /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV08 9920 151 9257 2% /u01/install /dev/mapper/SysVG00-SysLV05 3968 336 3428 9% /var /dev/mapper/SysVG00-SysLV03 1984 68 1815 4% /tmp /dev/mapper/SysVG00-SysLV01 1984 80 1803 5% /home /dev/mapper/SysVG00-SysLV02 992 152 789 17% /opt /dev/mapper/SysVG00-SysLV07 1488 35 1377 3% /opt/fedora-ds /dev/mapper/SysVG00-SysLV06 11904 5308 5982 48% /usr /dev/mapper/SysVG00-SysLV04 1488 50 1362 4% /usr/local /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV06 9920 151 9257 2% /u06 /dev/mapper/DataVG00-DataLV01 19839 7052 11764 38% /work /dev/mapper/DataVG00-DataLV00 31742 879 29225 3% /jpdshare /dev/mapper/DataVG00-DataLV02 19839 173 18643 1% /hobbes /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV00 9920 151 9257 2% /usr/oracle /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV03 9920 151 9257 2% /u03 /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV01 9920 151 9257 2% /u01 /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV05 9920 151 9257 2% /u05 /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV02 9920 151 9257 2% /u02 /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV07 9920 151 9257 2% /u07 /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV04 9920 151 9257 2% /u04 /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV02 3968 611 3153 17% /usr/java /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV01 3968 296 3468 8% /usr/eclipse /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV00 3968 137 3627 4% /usr/apache /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV04 3968 181 3583 5% /usr/tomcat /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV03 3968 517 3247 14% /usr/jboss /dev/mapper/WebVG00-WebLV05 5952 141 5505 3% /usr/workspace Thanks, Gene Poole gene.poole@xxxxxxxxx > first things first -- let's see your /etc/fstab. > > rday > -- > ======================================================================== > Robert P.
