Well, the OP didn't say it was solved, I have no way to know if your solution is the one as I can't test (I haven't that problem). Keep it cool, we just try to help the OP... We're not competing on which one will be the first one to find the solution. I was just trying to have data to process instead of guessing in the wild. Not saying that what you wrote was not the right diagnosis...

You have this error:

Code:

EXT3-fs(sda1):error:couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features
EXT2-fs(sda1):error:couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features

fdisk tells you that:

Code:

Disk /dev/sda: 750.2 GB, 750156374016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders, total 1465149168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xe7876b98

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 63 1460935034 730467486 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
/dev/sda2 1460935035 1465149167 2107066+ 82 Linux swap
Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.

df tells you that:

Code:

Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root ext4 719004100 4985356 677495372 1% /
tmpfs tmpfs 4034876 0 4034876 0% /dev/shm

and your fstab:

Code:

/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 1 1
/dev/sdb1 /fat-c ntfs-3g fmask=133,dmask=022 1 0
#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

Tip: it's easier to read the results of your commands if you write them between 'CODE' tags...

Well at least it's grouped if someone have an idea, I'm still thinking on my side

Sorry, but what do you mean "write them between 'CODE' tags"?

Well, I'm following T3slider tips...the boot gives those errors, but then mounts normally. I'm trying to ignore those errors.

Thank you everyone! And sorry not to answer quickly.

Like this:
[CODE]root@slack-vm:~/# less /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda2 /home ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb2 /shared-a ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb9 /shared-b ext4 defaults 1 2
[/CODE]

...it shows things like this:

Code:

root@slack-vm:~/# less /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1        swap             swap        defaults         0   0
/dev/sda1        /                ext4        defaults         1   1
/dev/sda2        /home            ext4        defaults         1   2
/dev/sdb2        /shared-a        ext4        defaults         1   2
/dev/sdb9        /shared-b        ext4        defaults         1   2

It's easier to read, keeps the formatting, new lines, etc...

So a last tip, mark the thread as solved
