fsck.ext3 : Unable to resolve "LABEL=/"
Hi
I have installed Fedora Core 3 and on booting up it gives the error
fsck.ext3:Unable to resolve "LABEL=/"
An error occured during filesystem check
Dropping you to a shell, the system will reboot
when you leave shell
Ok I searched on the net regarding this...
My /etc/fstab had the following entries
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/var/log /var/log ext3 defaults 1 2
.....
....
My grub.conf had the following entries
title StorTrends iTX 2.0 (2.6.9-1.667smp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667smp ro root=LABEL=/ elevator=deadline vga=0x318 quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667smp.img
************************************************** **
In maintenance mode i mounted the / in read - write mode
mount -n -o remount,rw /
I changed the /etc/fstab entries to the following
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda3 /var/log ext3 defaults 1 2
and the grub entry to
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667smp ro root=/dev/sda1 elevator=deadline vga=0x318 quiet
The output of "mount" command in maintenance mode gave me the following
/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sda3 on /var/log type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
and it worked.....
************************************************** *****
But since i needed the LABEL=/ option to work
I first thought that the label are not be assigned correctly
I tried the command
e2label /dev/sda1 /
e2label /dev/sda3 /var/log
But still on reboot it did not work.
Why does it not work when giving the LABEL=/ and works when giving directly the /dev/sda1 value??
I searched in the net but could not find the answer why it does not work this way....
Anybody have any thoughts on this why the LABEL=/ does not work
