Re: three issues w/ my upgrade (fsck, modules, link)
At 05:02 AM 10/8/00 -0700, you wrote:
1) fsck during the boot sequence. I changed from a small root partition
to several partitions. Now when the machine boots, it runs fsck on the
former (and still) root partition, which passes, but the second time it
runs fsck (shortly thereafter) it tries to run fsck on both the
unmounted partitions *and* the root partition, then says "fsck failed
cuz the partition is mounted". I think my mtab and fstab are ok, but I'm
not sure what's happening here. I thought there was an option in the
secondary partition check that is supposed to make it skip over the root
partition, but it doesn't appear to be.
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Check the last number on the line in /etc/fstab and make sure its a 1 for
the root partition, and all the other automatically mounted partitions
(home/usr/whatever) are 2 in the <pass> column.
BTW, /etc/mtab is for mounted filesystems, and thus shouldn't be edited by
hand.
2) When I install and build a kernel, should /usr/include/linux/include
be a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include? cuz right now, it ain't.
Not on my potato boxen it isn't.
3) I built all my soundblaster modules (soundlow, sound, uart401, sb)
but how to make them load automagically? modules.conf says not to edit
i'm not sure what to do. Seems like such a simple thing, but...
man update-modules
ps: here are the mtab and fstab:
(fstab)
/dev/hda13 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda10 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda5 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda7 /usr/local ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda8 /cdimage ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda9 /opt ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda11 /tmp ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda12 /var ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda13 / ext2 defaults 0 2
You've got / listed twice doofus :) remove the last line and it'll work fine.
