partman xfs: bad entry in /etc/fstab
Hello,
I did a vmware install using
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sid_d-i/i386/20040309/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
I did a typo in the boot line and ended in the default install :-)
Thus I got to use the new partitioner partman.
I was impressed to see a message, that xfs for /boot is not such a good
idea, so I went back to repartition ... very impressive.
In general I didn't like the many menus, but I can see that the logic
behind it is much more capable. So I'll get used to it, I guess.
So I chose
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 => 128 MB swap
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 => 32 MB ext3 /boot
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 => 800 MB xfs /
The reboot failed into some strange state. I was able to get in adding
init=/bin/bash
to the boot options. / was mounted readonly.
I found that /etc/fstab was the source of the problem
/dev/sda3 / xfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
--------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
instead of ignoring, mount (of xfs) will fail with this option.
I managed to remount
mount -o remount,rw -t xfs /dev/sda3 /
and change the file.
If someone will tell me, which package exactly this should go, I'll resend
as a bug report.
The rest of the install was a piece of cake! Thanks!
Cheers,
Erich
