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...
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) So, did you recently use yast, round about the time when fstab went away?
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.
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/ Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
