View Full Version : fstab


firas981
I have edited the file /etc/fstab to enable auto mount of FAT32
drives insted of mounting them manually every boot up .
however I got a message during booting process said something like :
" Warning Mounting FAT32 File system is still alpha ..... "
and the pc stop booting .

thanks..

Note : I use linux red hat 7.2

it mean you are using very old distro
when support for FAT was alpha
---
any why to be able to boot again boot from a rescue disk
then mount you linux
mkdir /mnt/linux
then type
chroot /mnt/linux
cd /etc
vi fstab
--
replace vi with mcedit or emacs or what ever
then correct your fstab then
exit
--
there are many linux rescue disk you can made from window
---
you may also use a live CD
or your distro installation Cd in rescue mode

YOU SHOULD GET A NEW AND RECENT DISTRIBUTION FROM HERE (http://www.linux-egypt.org/article/49) and probably all your worries and troubles will go away.
