Are the fstab entries manually updated or edited ? They are surely incorrect as far as what it look likes. << removed >> Last edited by writespeak; 11-21-2007 at 03:22 PM.

Once you re-install the server and boot, set attribute bit to the fstab file. After sometime check the log files for any failed attempts to modify the file. chattr +i /etc/fstab
