I just discovered that my fstab is empty and I know not why, only that *I* did not remove/edit it. The timestamp is two days ago... I see a google entry that claims that "MountManager killed my fstab" and that may be what happened to me. "cat /proc/mounts " was suggested and is very similar but by drive name rather than by id. "cp /etc/mtab /etc/fstab was also offered but is also by disk name rather than id. Is there a way to regenerate fstab w/o editing it completely by hand? I ask because I have five internal disks and two external and the editing would be tedious and the disks are identified by id. Note that "yast disk" entries all show the correct mountpoints. Would copying mtab or /proc/mounts to /etc/fstab and then opening "yast disk" and accepting current parameters correct /etc/fstab? (I will try this in the mean time). tks -- 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
