Dear Guru,
I am currently running gentoo linux as follows.
gentoo linux 1.4 - (linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r6)
cpu: 2.4xeon x 2
memory: 4GB
ide hard
/dev/hda1 - ext2 - /boot
/dev/hda2 - swap - <swap>
/dev/hda3 - ext3 - /
/dev/hda4 - ext3 - /home
Recently, I've upgraded system using following commands.
emerge sync
emerge --update world
Since, then I've been having a trouble mounting /home(/dev/hda4)
directory automatically upon boot. When I login system complains that
/home/oktokie does not exist and it just drops me into "/" directory.
When I "df -h" it shows me following:
===========================df -h=====================================
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 3.8G 1.5G 2.1G 42% /
/dev/hda4 51G 22G 27G 45% /home
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
=====================================================================
Funny thing is that /etc/mtab says that it's mounted but in actual life,
it isn't! Plus, before upgrade "/" partition used to mount as /dev/hda3,
but it has changed to /dev/root. I've not used label tool to label root
device. After I issue "umount /home", faks /home directory seems to be
clear out of /etc/mtab. Then when I try to mount /dev/hda4 as /home, it
complains of disk inconsistancy which forces me to run "fsck.ext3
/dev/hda4" and it says fixing journaling file system. Isn't journaling
introduced that we didn't have to run fsck everytime unix filesystem was
unproperly mounted? I am thinking it might be the new kernel but where
do I make the changes? I think I did everything correctly(I never had
problem with previous kernels - so there's very little chance).
Or, could it be "emerge sync" might have updated my some of the startup
script. Which linux start-up script mounts the partitons? I may need to
start reading startup shell script. Or, has anyone out there with gentoo
1.4 give you trouble upon recent upgrade?
Thank you in advance.
