Hello all,
I use Debian 1.2/Linux 2.0.29.
I have three partitions on my hard disk :
/dev/hda1 : linux
/dev/hda2 : linux swap
/dev/hda3 : ms-dos 6.22
And I have a problem with the mount command :
nathalie# mount /hda3/
can't lock lock file /etc/mtab~: timed out
So, I delete /etc/mtab~ and it ru
This is what I have in my /etc/init.d/boot, version
@(#)boot 2.10 26-Apr-1997 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[cut]
#
# Remount rootfs rw (default), but do not try to change mtab because it
# is on a ro fs until the remount succeeded. Then clean up old mtabs and
# finally write the new mtab.
