Have there been any updates within the last couple of days, to slow mounting of extra drives at boot, Or have I just done something that's broken it? For the last 2 days, when I boot my system, Firefox and Thunderbird (at least) don't load with the message that they're already running. Are they already running or? No, both their data is on a partition that's not mounted.... But the problem is the partition that they're located on isn't mounting at boot, even though nothing has changed in fstab etc. Check the boot log (/var/log/boot.msg) The only "mounting" type info in there is:
<6>[ 4.204147] EXT4-fs (sda3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode <4>[ 24.575613] EXT3-fs (sdb2): warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended <6>[ 24.575823] EXT3-fs (sdb2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
and no mention of the relevant partition /dev/sda6 (or by ID), or directory it's mounted in Have done a file system check on the root partition and the main data partition and both are fine... There are actually a number of partitions that are not loading from fstab.
These are the results of the mount command, directly after boot, then after running mount -a:
Could you please post your /etc/fstab and output of 'parted -s /dev/sda unit s print' ? What's 'rpm -q util-linux' ? Petr -- Petr Uzel IRC: ptr_uzl @ freenode
