Based upon your suggestion, I've re-arranged the fstab: /dev/SysVG00/SysLV00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/SysVG00/SysLV05 /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/SysVG00/SysLV03 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/SysVG00/SysLV01 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/SysVG00/SysLV02 /opt ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/SysVG00/SysLV07 /opt/fedora-ds ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/SysVG00/SysLV06 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/SysVG00/SysLV04 /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DataVG00/DataLV00 /jpdshare ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DataVG00/DataLV01 /work ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DataVG00/DataLV02 /hobbes ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DBMSVG00/DBMSLV00 /usr/oracle ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DBMSVG00/DBMSLV01 /u01 ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DBMSVG00/DBMSLV02 /u02 ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DBMSVG00/DBMSLV03 /u03 ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DBMSVG00/DBMSLV04 /u04 ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DBMSVG00/DBMSLV05 /u05 ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DBMSVG00/DBMSLV06 /u06 ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DBMSVG00/DBMSLV07 /u07 ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/DBMSVG00/DBMSLV08 /u01/install ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/WebVG00/WebLV04 /usr/tomcat ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/WebVG00/WebLV02 /usr/java ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/WebVG00/WebLV00 /usr/apache ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/WebVG00/WebLV05 /usr/workspace ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/WebVG00/WebLV03 /usr/jboss ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/WebVG00/WebLV01 /usr/eclipse ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=SWAP-sda8 swap swap defaults 0 0 The above fstab produced a reboot that had every filesystem mounted.
