mounting logical partition - special device does not exist
Hi,
I have created a logical partition (/dev/sda5) and have formatted it with an ext3 filesystem and given it the label PHOTOS. # mkfs.ext3 -L PHOTOS /dev/sda5 If I mount it to my /PHOTOS directory manually, it does so correctly. However, when I try to automount, it gives me this message: # mount -a mount: special device PHOTOS does not exist I've entered this line in my fstab file: PHOTOS /dev/sda5 ext3 defaults 0 0 I'm just not sure what's happening; I've never had trouble mounting a filesystem before. Any ideas about what I'm doint wrong? Oh and it's a RHEL 5 installation. Thanks, S |
the entry is illegal, it should be "LABEL=PHOTOS" not just "PHOTOS"
|
And the mountpoint ?.
