My Factory on one old PIII system lives on partition 19 on 1st/only PATA. It was installed from FTP at Alpha 5. Update today using YaST was uneventful, but I did notice things on reboot that don't seem good and/or right. 1-My root partition shows up in fstab and mount output twice: /dev/disk/by-label/hdx19factory on / LABEL=hdx19factory on / Is / being mounted twice a problem? 2-There's little rhyme or reason to the order of entries in fstab. HD partitions are (by traditional device names): hda19 (root by label) hda3 (DOS by-id) hda8 (windoz by devicename) hda9 (FAT by devicename) hda5 (/boot by-id) hda14 (/knoppix by-id) hda7 (SUSE 10.1 by-id) sda5 (Cooker /boot by-id) sda8 (Cooker /home by-id) sda7 (Cooker / by-id) hda15 (/home by-id) hda16 (/pub by-id) hda17 (/srv by-id) hda18 (/usr/local by-id) hda20 (/usr/src by-id) hda6 swap by-id sda5 (duplicate, except by devicename) hda19 (duplicate, by-id) sda9 (/disks/sda/extra by-id) 2-Most entries in fstab, plus root= in fstab, are of type by-id, even though valid and much shorter and more humanly manageable labels exist on all native partitions. 3-In addition to entries for no longer present kernels, the entries for Knoppix on hda14 and SUSE 10.1 on hda5 were also removed from /boot/grub/menu.lst. 4-Configured software repositories is empty. 5-Additional product repositories won't even open. -- " It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
