Hi,

Here's my fstab. Can you tell me specifically what is malformed?

Regards,

George...

Comment 7 Chris Lumens 2011-10-17 13:40:56 UTC
According to the error message, sda2 appears to have an ext3 filesystem on it, but your fstab says it's ext4.  Anyway, we should have a fix in to make sure you don't see this message anymore.

Comment 8 George R. Goffe 2011-10-18 22:52:54 UTC
Chris,

The df -T command says ext4. 

This is a really odd problem.

Regards,

George...

Comment 9 George R. Goffe 2011-10-18 22:54:00 UTC
Chris,

Will you be making a new cd with the solution in it? 

I'd be willing to test if you need someone. FC14 and FC15.

George...
