(Repair filesystem) 32 #

[countrydj]

Hi Guys...

I edited /etc/fstab and after that the computer won't boot up.

I got as far as (Repair filesystem) 32 #mount -w -o -remount /

and it says already mounted or busy.

I type (Repair filesystem) 32 #mount

And it looks like all mount points are (rw)

I try to edit /etc/fstab but when I save it I get told that the filesystem is READ ONLY.

Has anybody any ideas ???

Thanks,

John C

Can you send the output of this

fdisk -l
 cat /etc/fstab

Hi Ved..

Thank you for reponding.
However, I gave up the ghost.
I took an hdb from another server and installed it in the problem server.
The problem server than booted and I editted /etc/fstab.
I then removed the installed hdb and returned it to where it came from.
The problem server then booted.

Thanks anyway.

Regards,

I know that the problem is solved, but just for further recovery reference, you could try to mount the root filesystem by using this command

# mount -o remount rw /

Hope it helps..

I have used this command before, but on this occasion I tried this many times without sucess.
That is when I got stuck and posted this thread.
However, it may help others.

Thanks
