 |
|
Background:
I had a small 20gb'ish harddrive that I was going to use for system stuff and then bought a 200gb drive for /home and such (building a PVR)... As I was installing the new drive I opted to just use only the new drive. So I found a tutorial for copying the old to the new (ended up using dd). Then I made a new partition in the remaining space of my new hard drive. So basically I've now got a 180gb partition hda4 which I would like to mount as my /home...
Problems Begin:
So I booted up as normal (with the old drive now removed) and set it all up (mkfs.jfs /dev/hda4). I added what seemed to be the appropriate line to fstab (/dev/hda4 /home jfs 0 0) and rebooted.
Everything seemed to go ok until a message went by saying "Could not mount some local filesystem." So I fooled around a bit and can't seem to get rid of the problem. I can 'mount /dev/hda4 /home' without a problem and access the files without a problem, but everytime I boot it refuses to mount it.
Any ideas?  |

Could you post your '/etc/fstab'? I've not used jfs, but shouldn't your entry look something like this? | Code: |
/dev/hda4 /home jfs defaults 1 1 |
Best regards  |

Hey, thanks for replying, and sorry about that, I was paraphrasing. This is my fstab.
EDIT: I cut all this out because after fiddling it all managed to work itself out apparently, I really wish I know what I did...
EDIT: Uhm, I also wanted to mention this:
| Code: | pvr root # hdparm -d /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
using_dma = 0 (off)
|
That doesn't seem too good either, does it... I'll have to check into that one as when I try the -d1 trick it says operation not allowed.. |

that usually just means you need to load the IDE interface drivers.

| Code: | | 0000:00:09.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP2A IDE (rev a3) |
That's (as least as far as I know) the relevant part of lspci. The reason I didn't post it before is that it looked fine to me... Is that not what it's supposed to be saying? It is an nForce board afterall... |
