... how could I have missed those errors ??
Thanks Andrew.
Unfortunately.. those are not related. I've checked around. Those are
generated when /etc/rcS.d/S27evms (Enterprise Volume Manager). I can't
see why it runs, I'll look at sometime else.
Back to the original problem then.. why are my /dev/hda* partitions not
mounted and tagged as "busy" if I try to mount them manually ?
Thanks again Andrew,
