The /etc/fstab file
Having been presented with another system with a similar problem (this time an HP nw9440 laptop which wouldn't mount /var/tmp) I had a brain wave. Examination of the fstab from comment 1 reveals that /usr/local is listed before /usr (quite a long way before, in fact). Switching the order seems to have fixed the problem. So we have two potential bugs: (a) that the installer wrote the fstab in this order in the first place (and I've no idea in what order the partitions were typed in during the install, but to a large extent that shouldn't matter); and (b) that the system gets into this inconsistent state when it's in that order. (This may not be a bug, since it seems /usr/local is successfully mounted and then the mount of /usr shadows it. Only question is why the /usr/local mount point existed in the root partition...) That's wrong, the order of entries in the /etc/fstab is really important. Reassigning to anaconda... This is fixed in the development tree. |
