Filesystems Not Mounting
 

You will notice below that the file system that I mounted manually,
produces 2 entries in fstab. And when you reboot the machine while it is
going down produces an error for each duplicated entry.

Here is the /etc/fstab:

What version of Fedora are you running? I have never seen mounting a
file system manually produce changes in /etc/fstab. I do remember
that auto-mounting drives back in FC5 (FC4?) used to produce a
temporary entry in /etc/fstab when you hot-plugged a drive, but even
then manually mounting a file system would not produce an entry in
/etc/fstab. (It would in /etv/mtab...) So I suspect that the entries
were created some other way.

Filesystems Not Mounting
 

This is from Fedora 7. A week old install.

A little history:
Was running Fedora 6 with all available fixes via yum without any
issues (this included Sun Java and Oracle 10g Enterprise database).
I performed a clean install on this same machine of Fedora 7. But I
had the same filesystem issues so I went back to Fedora 6.
Later I performed a clean install on this machine of Fedora 8. But
with the Sun Java and Oracle database issues, I fell back to Fedora
6.
Now - After the EOL for Fedora 6 was announced and I saw no
resolution for the Oracle and Java issues, I did a clean install of
Fedora 7.

I am not seeing what the problem is. You say IT all works fine on
FC6. But you tried both F7 and F8 and you were not able to mount some
file systems. Now where are these file systems now?


If they are on FC6 I should think you can cp -a from FC6 to F8 any
file system you want.


You are talking about /etc/fstab and it has NOTHING to do with file
systems. Fstab is used to connect whole partitions to a main part.


So please some details. Are you trying to move your Orical data base
directories to F8? That will not work. Orical has files all over the FC6
file system.

Filesystems Not Mounting
 

Let me clarify:
At boot time when all of the entries in fstab are normally mounted,
the duplicates in the fstab are not mounted. The duplicate entries
are a result of the following:
As an example, I entered a 'ls -ltr /usr/oracle' and a single line
containing 0 was returned (it should have at least showed the
lost+found directory entry).
I then entered 'sudo mount -a'; and received many messages stating
that there are missing mount points.
As an example I entered 'sudo mkdir -p /usr/oracle'
I then entered: 'sudo mount /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV00
/usr/oracle' (from my fstab entry)
At this point is when I realized that there are now duplicate
entries in fstab, however, /usr/oracle is available and usable.

I hope this clarifies my situation.

Clue-by-four: File System TABle

Second whacking:
man fstab

NAME
fstab - static information about the filesystems

SYNOPSIS
#include <fstab.h>

DESCRIPTION
The file fstab contains descriptive information about the various
file systems...

Umm, no... That's the output from something like the "df" command.
The /etc/fstab file looks quite different, and I haven't seen it posted
by you.

Stop! Right here put a copy of your /etc/fstab file.



As an example, I entered a 'ls -ltr /usr/oracle' and a single line

Your treating /usr/oracle as a directory but I think It might be a
partition???

I then entered 'sudo mount -a'; and received many messages stating
that there are missing mount points.

Mount -a is to mount everything in fstab. But that is done normal
during boot.




As an example I entered 'sudo mkdir -p /usr/oracle'
I then entered: 'sudo mount /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV00
/usr/oracle' (from my fstab entry)
At this point is when I realized that there are now duplicate

I have no idea how you got here. Please which system are you talking
about and show us your /etc/fstab and your grub.conf files.

Things are getting confusing. Returning to a previous comment
mounting a file-system does not add anything to fstab. mount -a mounts
those entries in the fstab. Show us a fstab file with duplicate entries.

This is how to show us the fstab:
[summer@potoroo ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2


and so it goes.
