Hi all! I am down to just one error my freshly installed gentoo box (first time)!!! And I cant figure this error out. i have mounted /dev/hda5 as /home and at start up, its giving me
Code:
mount: wrong fstype, bad option, bad superblock, or to many mounted filesystems.


I dunno why this is cause all my other partiions on this drive work fine. I installed gentoo-dev-sources kernel 2.6.3 and ran e2fsck -v -j -y /dev/hda5 and nothing is fixing it. /boot (hda1) is ext2 filesystem, all the rest are ext3's. Here is my fstab:
Code:
/dev/hda1      /boot      ext2      defaults      1 1
/dev/hda2      swap      swap      defaults      0 0
/dev/hda3      /      ext3      defaults      1 1
/dev/hda5      /home      ext3      defualts      1 2
/dev/hda6      /tmp      ext3      defaults      1 2
/dev/hda7       /usr      ext3      defaults      1 2
/dev/hda8      /var      ext3      defaults      1 2
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0   /mnt/cdrom   iso9660      noauto,ro      0 0
/dev/fd0      /mnt/floppy   auto      noauto         0 0
none         /proc      proc      defaults      0 0
none         /dev/shm   tmpfs      defaults      0 0


hda4 is an extended partion that starts at block 466 and goes to the rest of the drive. hda5, 1st logical partioin also starts at block 466. I belive this ok.

Thanks for any help!

defualts is apparently a "bad option" :wink: . Correct that in your fstab and it should work.

You are welcome.

edit: might be a good idea to append "solved" to the thread's topic.
