What bothers me is that I have to rewrite the fstab because it is practically empty. It gives a /dev/root as an ext2 partition. But I know that I only had one 23.5Mb ext2 partition as /boot, a 258.8M as swap, further only reiserfs partitions. Above two partitions are with a 1.7 GB as /usr together with my drdos partition on my first harddisc. My second hd is 4 GB mounted as / and the third hd of 1,1 Gb as my /home
Just write this in the fstab? And what about the mtab?
The mtab file shouldn't be edited by humans. It is maintained by the kernel as and when things are mounted If YaST2 messed up your fstab you may just get lucky with a file like fstab.YaSTsave or something like it. Look for a backup file named like that before you start editing If you can't find a backup, then yes, you'll have to edit the fstab and put the correct entries in there
