[opensuse] Bootup mount of Fat32 filesystem fails -- but it doesn't!
On bootup I get the following failure message: /dev/hdb9 on /windows/E type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0) failed<notice>'boot.localfs start' exits with status 0 However, the /windows/E drive gets mounted anyway and works as it should. I have another Windows drive with an identical mount configuration that doesn't produce such a failure message. What's going on?

Hi Paul, Can you post the relevant lines from /etc/fstab? regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

/dev/hdb6 /windows/D vfat user,iocharset=iso8859-1,users,rw,umask=0 0 0
The second has a superfluous '0 0' tacked to the end. I'll bet if you remove that, the error message will go away. ;-)
/dev/hdb9 /windows/E vfat user,iocharset=iso8859-1,users,rw,umask=0 0 0 0 0

Addendum: Maybe "correct" was hasty? *All* of my partitions end in '0 0' or '1 1' or '1 2' and not '? ? ?' Maybe the third '0' above is just being ignored? Is this a YaST-built line?

I eliminated the extra zeros (I hadn't realized they were there), but that didn't help. I moved the line for /windows/E next to the line for /windows/D and the problem went away. Go figure.

Assuming you do not mean that your trying to mount the partition twice or use /dev/hdb9 twice. Check the windows partitions with Norton Disk Doctor. Seems it may have corrupted itself. Windows does that occasionally even without being online or bring in any floppy from strange computers. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
