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?
Never touch the mtab file, it is created automatically by the system and contains the current state of all mounted filesystems. Ken
