partition types and filesystems are different things. fdisk only understands partitions. > 2.. How do I edit the fstab file?

It must be on the host fs (ie. if you're making a /usr/local partition, make sure /usr/local is first created on the fs where /usr's contents are located). Order of fs mounting is a biggie too. If you have a complex tree of filesystems, make sure you mount the filesystems that host the mount points for other filesystems first (ie. if you have /, /usr, and /usr/local partitions, mount them in that order). Since you have 3 harddisks, you prolly have some number of partitions :) > Looking forward to read your replies. > Thanks in advance. > Ragnar W. > -- -Statux _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
