| Post subject: | Problem mounting hda3 and 4 |
I have done an automatic install of knoppmyth R5A 16 onto a Shuttle with a Nebula DVB-T card. The basic install is now working with a few fiddles but I have been having problems with the hard disk filling (the disk is 250GB) I quickly found that hda3 and 4 weren't being mounted. The lines in fstab were /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 .... /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4 .... I changed these to /dev/hda3 /cache ... /dev/hda4 /myth ... but they still don't mount, nothing appears in mtab, I can mount them manually and they then appear in mtab but this isn't very handy. I am also concerned that the directory structure currently in /myth will not be there |

Hi, Interesting that the setup didn't fly properly. Anyway to tweak the fstab you might try a copy of mine. I think all you have to do to yours is remove the no from noauto ? /dev/hda3 /cache auto defaults,auto 0 2 /dev/hda4 /myth auto defaults,auto 0 2 Let us know if that helps Mike |

Having seen other posts complaining about the same symptoms that it's happened to others. |

Huh? Perhaps it is the medcine but your previous post doesn't seem to make sense. It sound like to performed an install and had everything working (in this case, your post DOESN'T belong under KnoppMyth -> Installation). Then you tweaked something breaking your fstab in the process. |

NO, I didn't tweak fstab, it was already broken, the original entries were /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 ... /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4... and mtab showed that neither were mounted Under these circumstances the directories /cache and /myth were pointing to space on /hda1, and that is why the system failed. Reading other posts, this seems to have happened to others as well. Searching the forum with 'disk full' shows a number of posts where myth has failed when cache gets more than a couple of gig in it. |

Perhaps it is the medicine (just took some more...), but I cannot recall anyon e else having problem with /cache and /myth being created on hda1. The only way I can see this happening is if someone didn't follow the directions correctly. I've installed KnoppMyth more than anyone else and I've never had an issue w/ /cache and /myth being on hda1. |

It was an automatic install, default partitioning on a 250 GB drive |

That is definitely NOT the right fstab. It looks more like something that gets used when running from the CD. I'd do a fresh DL of the ISO image, check the md5sum, burn a new CD at the slowest speed possible, and do a fresh installl. |
