Please post the output of these commands:

Code:
fdisk -l

and

Code:
cat /etc/fstab

Then maybe it will make things clear

In fstab
I add
/dev/hda11(the maximum is hda10 in the fstab)
and the other parameters accordingly.

When I perform
mount -a

wrong fs type, bad option, missing codepage or other error

Hi again,
Well that doesn't say very much, does it? Unless we see the line in fstab, we can't even guess what might be wrong. And a view of Your disk layout may also be very helpful.
So once again,
fdisk -l and cat /etc/fstab says what?

it is in another sever, it is really hard to copy the output.
In fstab:

lets say: I have a partition for 'var'.

/dev/hda6 ....... /var ... ......

/dev/hda11 .... /back... ....

I add hda11 for back directory which have all parameters as same as var or any other directories except root
