After installing RedHat 5.2 using previously formatted partitions on 2 disks (other than the root partition) and creating non-standard mount points for each (/apps and /private) I noticed that the system did not cleanly unmount them. This did not have a detrimental effect as the drives had no activity on them and checked out ok on restart. I do not know if this bug occurs with new partitions or just the previously formatted ones (or if mount points have a bearing ) as I have not tested for it yet. TTYL, Gerry Mackinnon
I could not get this to happen on several installs attempted in the test lab. I tried both installs and upgrades to drives that already had formatted partitions set up the way you stated and also with out.
