All,

I'm having a weird problem with redhat 9 fstab. I have everything setup the way I want, and have set the file permissions to read only. Unfortunately, any time I reboot the system I get a reversion back to a different fstab. This is annoying, because it does not detect my cdburner, external harddrive, or zip drive correctly. Also, my directories in the /mnt directory disappear.

I'm assuming there must be some kind of hardware scanner that redoes this at boot, but I really want it to stop. It's gotten bad enough I've actually written a bash script to redo the fstab, mnt directories, dev directory links, and then remount the whole thing. Anyone know of anything I can do to make this stop?

Thanks

Try disabling Kudzu ?

Disable kudzu completely, or delete the kudzu option from the fstab?

Try deleting Kudzu from your fstab entries first.

Thanks,

That fixed it perfectly! Even though I rarely reboot, this was a huge nuisance. I appreciate your help!

Cool !
