i am having an issue mounting /var through the fstab..i don't get an err when mounting local filesystems in the init process but when i go to ls /var it will not show up
my setup, i have 6 partitions, 3 primary and one extended, with 2 logical partitions off that
they are as such
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs
/dev/hda2 boot ext2
/dev/hda3 swap swap
/dev/hda5 /var reiserfs
/dev/hda6 / reiserfs


the main part of my /etc/fstab is as follows:
Code:

/dev/hda2   /boot  ext2       defaults,noatime   1 2
/dev/hda5   /var   reiserfs   noauto,noatime     0 1
/dev/hda6   /        reiserfs   noauto,noatime     0 1
/dev/hda3  none   swap       sw                       0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 ....
/dev/hda1  /mnt/windows ntfs  rw      0 0


mount produces:
Code:

/dev/hda6 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /boot type ext2 (rw, noatime)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type ntfs (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)


i am getting a slew of init errs but i believe they may be related to the fact that /var isn't mounting...
the other thing that is weird is in the init it mentions that the Filesystem seems mounted read-only...i don't know if this is an indicator as well but i haven't had any problems with writing to the FS after logging in...

thanks for any help! and sorry about formatting, my install is still in text-based form...i want to work out the issues before i install the graphical piece

fixed the problem by changing the reiserfs settings to defaults on both /dev/hda5 and 6
so both reiserfs partitions i got rid of the noatime,noauto and replaced that with defaults
