 Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2005 10:17 pm Post subject: fstab error after install |
 |
|
hi. i just isntalled gentoo. when loading gentoo i fet the following error:
| Code: | * Mounting local filesystems
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1 or to many mounted file systems
* some local filesystems failed to mount [!!] |
my fstab looks like this:
| Code: | /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 default, noatime 1 2
/dev/hda6 / ext3 noatime 1 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noatuo,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noatuo 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
hda1 is the boot partition, hda6 is the root partition, and hda5 is the swap partition. does anyone know why might be happening.
edit* note that the [code] tags messed up the format of how i typed the file. there are no spaces where there shouldn't be in the actual file. |

You're sure that the boot partition has an ext3 but not an ext2?

remove the space between default and noatime, like this:
| Code: | | /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 default,noatime 1 2 |

My /boot is ext2 as well  Can't beat that solid reliability. Can you mount /boot using a livecd, or at all? That will tell you if it's a superblock problem (which is pretty nasty). I doubt it's because of "too many mounted filesystems", so if its not those it leaves your fstab. Try something like this, as root:
| Code: | mkdir /mnt/temp
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/temp |
If that works, it narrows down the problem quite a bit. Make sure to umount and rmdir /mnt/temp after you're done, of course.

| yes i can mount boot using the livecd. however, it gives me a superfill error, and says its mounting at ext2 instead of ext3. i will post the specific error later when i am at home. (ps the superfill error happens for both the boot and root partitions) |

Hi.
When you mount with the live-cd do
| Code: | | # mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mount/point |
Your problem with /boot and ext3 is becoming a recurrent issue here in the forums. I've lost track of how many people are complaining that they can't have /boot mounted at start-up when they use ext3 as the filesystem. It seems that in most cases, one can mount them as usual after doing the login. Can you test that?
Did anyone open up a bug report on this? I think there have been enough cases to start excluding "operator error". Did anyone solve this issue or is everyone waiting for a solution?

| ok i'll try that as soon as i get home from work. another problem i'm having is that when netmount is being started, it says eth0 cannot be found. can this be related to my trouble w/ the boot partition? |

Not likely. You might have forgotten to add your nic module to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.

| Change your fstab to ext2 for /boot and try that. It appears that it can be mounted as ext2 and may be that it was simply created as ext2 instead of ext3. |

Try "defaults" instead of "default".

hello
I just wanted to mention that i use ext3 on my /boot and /root partitions and i have never had this issue
which i can see so far everyone has picked and most of the issues with the fstab "default" should be "defaults"
But here i go alittle off the wall.. i had an instance apon building my kernel using menu config under file selection i think
it was called well i recall that i had to mark all ext2 and ext3 as being built in the kernel.....
i know nornally their all ready checked by default but ive experianced a time the it was not.......so i just though i would
mention it
So lucky for me if this is a trend setting error i have yet to experiance it... |

Well, that's good to know.
I wish more people using ext3 on their /boot and / partitions would comment on this, but for the time being I'm going to assume that these errors are "operator errors".
