Greetings; My daily mailing from logwatch had a surprise this morning. I have other installs besides F10, each on its own disk. The F10 //etc/fstab now lists the disk by LABEL= syntax after having lost the main F10 drive and replacing it it, copying the whole system over before pulling the old (about 11 months) drive out. Uptime is about 4.5 days, kernel 2.6.32-rc7. I let yum update about 200 megs worth of stuff last night, but don't recall that udev was in the list. In any event, this was about 16 hours before I did the update with yumex according to the date on /etc/mtab. >From that logwatch mail: --------------------- Disk Space Begin ------------------------ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 97G 8.3G 83G 10% / /dev/sda1 395M 161M 215M 43% /boot /dev/sda5 29G 7.7G 20G 28% /opt /dev/sda6 29G 4.2G 24G 16% /home /dev/sda7 29G 11G 18G 38% /root /dev/sda8 29G 3.8G 24G 14% /var /dev/sda9 29G 197M 28G 1% /tmp /dev/sda10 673G 82G 557G 13% /usr /dev/sdc1 917G 736G 135G 85% /amandatapes /dev/sdd10 368G 335M 349G 1% /media/disk /dev/sdd8 375G 4.5G 352G 2% /media/disk-1 /dev/sdd6 49G 225M 49G 1% /media/disk-2 /dev/sdd7 100G 188M 95G 1% /media/disk-3 /dev/sdd9 21G 341M 20G 2% /media/disk-4 /dev/sdd1 2.4G 85M 2.2G 4% /media/disk-5 ---------------------- Disk Space End ------------------------- None of the /dev/sdd* entries are listed in my fstab, and I did not hand mount them, nor did I create the /media/disk-* entries. It is a 64 bit mandriva-2009-1 install. Something that thinks it has the rights to go around and mount everything it finds seems to have the run of the system. Just one Q about that though, why didn't it similarly mount the kubuntu-9.04 install on /dev/sdb? Another bit of puzzling detail comes from the 'ls -l /media' output. drwxr-xr-x 22 root adm 4096 2009-08-16 10:28 disk drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2009-07-16 11:39 disk-1 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2009-07-17 12:09 disk-2 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2009-07-17 13:15 disk-3 drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 2009-07-16 11:43 disk-4 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2009-08-16 09:39 disk-5 Note the dates, all very much old history now. And, I would have used much more descriptive names had I been the one making those mountpoint dirs in the /media path. According to the date on /etc/mtab, this wholesale mount took place at ~=8:30am yesterday morning. So, how did those 6 partitions get mounted? Inquiring minds want to know. I didn't do it, and I'm the only operator here. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
