Found the bug. It was roughly around 10.2 or 10.3, where if you had an extra whitespace at the start or end of a line, everything after the whitespace was deleted, but only if you ran the yast nfs module.

Did you run that module?

No, but thanks for the efforts. It *definitely* was mountmaster. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You talk about bastardized? You should see my "6.2". *scnr*

I don't think there is a way - but you can save yourself some typing by simply copy/pasting the disk IDs from /dev/disk/by-id/

Yes, came to the same conclusion, just starting.

If you still have the connection /dev/[hs]d* device" <-> mountpoint <-> options, and "just" need to replace the [hs]d* with the corresponding /dev/disk/by-id/ then try the following and if the result suits you ... ==== #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; # you will need to check these defaults: my $defaults = qr/rw|errors=continue|barrier=1|data=ordered/; # you might want to check this output format: my $fmt = "/dev/disk/by-id/%- 42s\t%- 10s\t%- 10s %- 20s\t% 3s % 3s"; #### no user servicable stuff below this, theoretically ;) #### my %ids; chdir("/dev/disk/by-id/") or die "$!\n"; opendir(IDS, ".") or die "$!\n"; map { my $d = readlink() or die "$!\n"; $d =~ s@.*/(s\S+)@/dev/$1@; $ids{$d} = $_ unless defined($ids{$d}) && $ids{$d} =~ /^ata/; } grep {!/^.{1,2}$/} readdir(IDS); closedir(IDS); open(PM, "<", "/proc/mounts") or die "$!\n"; while(<PM>) { if( /^\/dev\// ) { my ($dev, $mnt, $fst, $opt, $dmp, $chk) = split(); # replace default options $opt =~ s/$defaults/defaults/g; if( $opt =~ /defaults/) { $opt =~ s/defaults(,|$)//g; $opt = "defaults,$opt"; $opt =~ s/,$//; } if( $mnt eq "/" ) { $chk = 1; } ## we want '/'-partition checked printf "$fmt\n", $ids{$dev}, $mnt, $fst, $opt, $dmp, $chk; } } close(PM) or die; ==== You may need to adjust the dump/fsck fields and replace (more) superfluous default-options (like rw,errors=continue...) in the output.

11.2, factory? You replaced your normal system with factory? :-O

Yep, sure did :^) And having very few problems past some experimentation, such as mountmaster which I had no experience, but... I have one problem, php5 doesn't display: <? phpinfo(); ?> I get a blank page, you can try yourself: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/p.php perms are: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root And, ldap is borked. Never used it and know nothing about it, but it is filling my email logs: Jul 5 09:59:50 wahoo postfix/proxymap[6960]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable xterm *was* opening in ~/Documents, but no longer. Desktop crashed on file transactions, but no longer. gallery2 does not recognize mod_rewrite which is supplied by apache2_worker. I believe all solvable, just need more knowledge :^). mail server working fine. New firefox (3.5) appears fine. Like the desktop effects, but not playing with compiz *yet*.

You sure like living dangerously ;-) Factory is broken at the moment, or so they said on the list. I never use factory for my main install, just an auxiliary one.

Hm. I seem to recall that you're using an older version of suse - and I also seem to recall that there was a bug in an older version of yast, where under certain circumstances it would clear out fstab, if the fstab file had some small problem that the parser couldn't handle (can't remember the details, this was a long time ago)

Ah, old-timer's.... But I tend to wander. I developed a rather unique problem which I could not solve with SLED 10 (somewhat bastardized) and installed 11.2 which is current according to zypper dup.

...

So, did you recently use yast, round about the time when fstab went away?

No, mountmanager was the problem, tested and confirmed. It leaves fstab as a 0 length file :^(. Immediately removed mountmaster and gave bug report to author. Will also file one in bugzilla.

tks,

Patrick, You could also open the partitioner and go down the partitions adding in the fstab entries to each one you want. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
