Just re-installed SuSE 6.4 in order to have the OS on two HD's. As you can see below I placed /usr/local on it's own partition. The problem I had was that /usr/local didn't mount at boot and I got an error message that /dev/pts failed to mount as well. Checking this I found that /dev/pts actually was mounted but that /usr/local didn't. Not ever. I fixed that in /sbin/init.d/boot.local. Here's my /etc/fstab XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXsnipXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX /dev/hda1 swap swap defaults 0 2 /dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda4 /opt reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda3 /dos vfat noauto,user,mode=777 0 2 /dev/hdb5 /var reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb6 /usr/local reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb4 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb7 /root reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb8 /usr reiserfs defaults 1 2 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 #usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 #/dev/hdb1 /data1 auto noauto,user 0 0 #/dev/hdb2 /data2 auto noauto,user 0 0 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXsnipXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (data1 and data2 are unused partitions that I intend to use for OpenBSD and NetBSD) AFAI can see everything is as it should, but then why didn't /usr/local boot and why do I get the error messages about /dev/pts? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
