Here's my problem. All of a sudden, when I rebooted my server, I got a message saying that "special device /storage/Upload, /storage/packages does not exist". I thought to myself, that's odd, THEY DO TOO! So I waited until the computer finished booting, and typed "mount". Sure enough, not mounted. Ok, let's try this: "mount -a". Typed "mount" again, and what do you know, /storage/Upload is there, and same with /storage/packages. So I was wondering why all of a sudden fstab is trying to load them before it loads all of /hdd1/storage? /storage is a 160gig maxtor drive, if it matters. Here's my fstab:
| Code: |
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.14 2003/10/13 20:03:38 azarah Exp $
#
# 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, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdd1 /storage reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hdc1 /videos reiserfs noatime 0 2
/videos /home/xbox/videos none bind,rw 0 0
/storage /home/xbox/storage none bind,rw 0 0
/storage/Upload /home/xbox/upload none bind,rw 0 0
/storage/packages /home/binaries/packages none bind,rw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# 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

To all my knowledge, this should be fine. It worked before, haven't gotten this error ever, and this computer has been running for about 4 months now, and I have rebooted it several times with no errors. So if anyone has ANY idea why it would all of a sudden just not do this correctly, I would greatly appreciate it. Oh, and wow, gentoo kicks ass  |

You are complicating your life by doing so.
Simply keep these lines :
| Code: |
/dev/hdd1 /storage reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hdc1 /videos reiserfs noatime 0 2 |
and create symlinks for the rest. Like this :
| Code: | ln -s /storage /home/xbox/storage
ln -s /videos /home/xbox/videos
ln -s /storage/upload /home/xbox/upload (you put a upper case U, i corrected)
ln -s /storage/packages /home/binaries/packages |
And see the ln man page to suit you needs... |

| Well, I did try that when I first set up my system. The reason that I have those directories is for my FTP server that I have set up. Those are users that acutally don't have a shell to logon into for security purporses. I also have it set up so that my FTP server doesn't follow sym links also, so the only way that I can get people to be able to see those 2 directories is to mount them in fstab. Again, after my computer boots, I can do a "mount -a" and it mounts everything in my fstab just fine, but not when I boot. And to repeat myself, this just started happening, and I was just wondering why all of a sudden it was doing this, when 2 days ago it wasn't, and nothing has changed. If anyone has ANY clue why, please let me know. Thanks! |

Ok. So I figured out why this was happening. Apparently in /etc/init.d/localmount there is an option (-atF) to mount all local filesystems at the same time. Well for some reason, mine was set like this, but this wasn't a problem until recently. So when I removed the F it worked fine. Thanks, and Gentoo still rocks my socks off  |
