unable to mount
Hi
I have centos 5.3 installed , i make one partition of free space using fdisk , i create mount point and manually add it is mounted and accessible but when i make entry of this mount point in fstab it is stuck at boot give error "unable fsck.ext3 unable to ressolve 'LABEL=/mountpoint name" |
Did you format the partition and label it?
What does the fstab line look like? |
Hi
I already format the partition fstab line look as follows LABEL=/mountpoint name /mountpoint name ext3 defaults 1 2 |
hi put the entry manually like in fstab.
/dev/sda(labelname) /mountpoint ext3 defaults 1 2 may your system got boot successfully if any error persist then paste the output of fstsb . |
Hi
I tried LABEL=/dev/hda6 /mountpoint ext3 defaults 1 2 but still same error as "unable fsck.ext3 unable to ressolve 'LABEL=/dev/hda6 " |
Please post the output of fdisk -l

You could also use "UUID=<UUID #>" instead, where the UUID # is the UUID of the filesystem. This will allow you to mount the filesystem, even if you changed the partitioning. You can discover the Label, UUID and filesystem type using "blkid": sudo /sbin/blkid /dev/sda6 or sudo /sbin/blkid /dev/sda* to list info about all partitions on the first hard drive. Code:

hi
output of fdisl -l is as follows-- Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 32 257008+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 33 3856 30716280 83 Linux /dev/hda3 3857 6406 20482875 83 Linux /dev/hda4 6407 9729 26691997+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 6407 6661 2048256 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda6 6662 9729 24643678+ 83 Linux the partition i created is /dev/hda6 when i manually mount this new partition it will mount and also it shown under df -h but when i make mount entry in fstab shows the error as describe in my previous post |
Your /etc/fstab entry could look similar to this:
Code:
/dev/hda6 /mountpoint ext3 defaults 1 2 Then the entry could look like: Code:
UUID=cc874c16-bfcf-4b71-ba7f-8d6cdb212347 /mountpoint ext3 defaults 1 2 Look at the fstab entry for /home or /usr. Maybe your system recommends other boot option in the 4th column, such as user_xattr, acl, or quota. The /etc/fstab format is explained in it's own manpage: "man 5 fstab". The manpage for mount will contain more mount options. |
