Additional info:
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
I had the same problem carry through to fedora 15 when I tried upgrading to fix it. I finally had a look at the fstab file, and found that sometime along the way, the usb drive had been assigned a mounting status which I commented out and fixed the problem: Here is the /etc/fstab file: # # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Tue Jun 21 01:21:02 2011 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/ disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info # /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root / ext4 defaults 1 1 UUID=36757e9e-f25b-422f-b056-a0e3f74a183f /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 # UUID=4EEA-A404 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 0 /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_home /home ext4 defaults 1 2 /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_swap swap swap defaults 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 The commented line "UUID=4EEA-A404" is the culprit. I will have to learn more about fstab and this UUID stuff. I figured this out thanks to the drive "configurations" tool in fedora 15... I noticed that the drive in question kept mounting at /boot/efi for reasons that I didn't understand until I saw the /etc/fstab line.
How did you make upgrade from fc13 to fc14? Was it through yum or through anaconda (install cd).
Because Brad did not provide some more information, my only suspect for this situation is upgrade trough anaconda using live usb drive.
Lukas, Sorry that I have not responded before. I had upgraded first through yum (the native upgrade through the OS) from fc13->fc14, and I think that for fc14 to fc15, I downloaded an install DVD. I think that maybe this was caused by some problem with the initial upgrade path on the fstab file... having the USB drive attached during the upgrade process? But commenting out the involved line in the fstab file fixed the problem completely. Brad Banko
anaconda only writes out a new fstab on upgrades in one specific circumstance - if you migrate your filesystem from ext2 to ext3, or from ext3 to ext4. Did you do that?
I think that I did migrate to ext4 along the way. Yes.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
