Hi there

After using etc-update, my local filesystems don't get mounted anymore. The strange thing is: "mount -a" after login works flawlessly.

This is some of the output during startup:
Code:

VFS: Mounted root (reiser4 filesystem) readonly.
Mounted devfs on /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory: 208k freed
INIT: version 2.85 booting

This is my fstab:
Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.

# <fs>             <mountpoint>    <type>     <opts>            <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS (version 3.x), add the notail option to opts.

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

none         /dev/shm   tmpfs      defaults      0 0



Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated

Reiser4 support and the driver for the SATA controller are both compiled into the kernel, so this is not the problem.

I had the same problem yesterday. To solve it I had to edit fstab and change all my sda partitions to devfs names.
Code:

/dev/sda3  /  reiserfs ...

became
Code:

/dev/discs/disc1/part3  / reiserfs ...
