Re: fstab problem

I'm not sure whether the mount option is wrong, but you can try
errors-remount-ro
0 instead.

Greetings all,

I have a problem with my /etc/fstab and the system cannot boot.
I copied a fstab file from another machine, but I fogot that the file
system of the root volume on that machine is ext3 but the one I have
is XFS, so the system cannot boot anymore.
Luckily I have a LiveCD and I boot the LiveCD system and change the fstab:

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 / xfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0
1
/dev/hda8 /boot ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hda9 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0

but the system can only boot to runlevel 2, and the message said that
the '/' is not mounted yet (wrong option).
So, how can I write a correct fstab?

Thanks very much!

Deephay
