How to edit /etc/fstab when root was mounted as read only
can somebody help me out in editing the /etc/fstab. I am on RHEL5 (Tikanga).
**The problem is that i have given a wrong LABEL in /etc/fstab for root volume and so after reboot, it is unable to resolve the wrong LABEL; so, i have to edit the /etc/fstab :-( -ilan |

Boot in single user mode and correct the error where the local filesystems are not mounted.

Thanks for your time helping me.
i did it like this.. 1.boot with a instalation CD and go on to 'linux rescue' mode 2. mount the root partition to some other path other than root (as it is already mounted) say mount on to /mnt/root 3. and then i got the /etc/fstab editable. as i had to do this on te same day...i had to ask my *boss* for this trick :-) again, i will try your approaches too...no harm in knowing more ways to do. -ilan |
