please attach your /etc/fstab file Here is the current /etc/fstab [root@truk ~]# more /etc/fstab /dev/sda7 / ext2 exec,dev,suid,rw,usrquota 1 1 /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda6 /var ext2 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /GNL ext2 rw /dev/sdc1 /home ext2 rw # Removable media, standard or linux filesystems /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /fd0 ext2 noauto,user,exec,sync 0 0 # Removable media, DoS/Windoze filesystems #/dev/fd0 /dos/floppy msdos noauto,user,sync 0 0 # # Connect to the orca cluster read only to get the radar data out. # orca:/home /home/httpd/html/spp/orca nfs ro Here is the /etc/fstab when the problem occured: [root@truk ~]# more /etc/fstab /dev/sda7 / ext2 exec,dev,suid,rw,usrquota 1 1 #/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 #/dev/sda6 /var ext2 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 #/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 #/dev/sdb1 /GNL ext2 rw #/dev/sdc1 /home ext2 rw # Removable media, standard or linux filesystems #/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user,exec 0 0 #/dev/fd0 /fd0 ext2 noauto,user,exec,sync 0 0 # Removable media, DoS/Windoze filesystems #/dev/fd0 /dos/floppy msdos noauto,user,sync 0 0 # # Connect to the orca cluster read only to get the radar data out. # orca:/home /home/httpd/html/spp/orca nfs ro Hope this helps. so you weren't using /boot at the time of upgrade? Or were you trying to keep the installer from touching it? Why were you commenting out these entries? (I'm trying to set up a test case) I was trying to do an upgrade. I kept getting an error message that the system had not been shut down cleanly. But it wouldn't say which file system was not getting dismounted properly. So I figured that if I didn't mount most of the file systems, then I wouldn't have to dismount those file systems. But that didn't work, probably because the file system that wasn't getting dismounted properly was the / file system which is on sda7 if memory serves me. Jeff you were shutting the machine down cleanly before the upgrade, correct? Yes. I get the same thing, but with a 7.1->7.2 installation. The installer claims that "some filesystems are wrong in fstab" and that the installation can't continue. Everything is fine in fstab.

Deferred to future release. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
