How to recovered fstab

floodking · 11-06-2005, 01:47 AM

I am revised fstab a little:add a new line to the original one.

But now the system won't work any more, it says something wrong with line 7 in fstab.

When the system was restarted, I entered a reparing filesystem mode. I tried to used mount, but the shell return "cannot find /etc/fstab. No such file or directory."

How to recover the fstab or edit the file?

I am using 3 scsi disks. System: Redhat Linux 9

I am waiting for help online.

Thanks a lot for your help.

How do you mean? when you said " I entered a reparing filesystem mode"

When the fstab file is corrupted, Redhat linux would invoke a a progam-"repair file system", which resemble the bootdisk in earilier version of redhat linux.

Thanks, I have solved the problem.

With what program did you edit fstab? I usally uses emacs from a shell.
