FSTAB Problem
Hello,
I transferred a machine from a tape back into a virtual machine. I created several paritions so I could xfter the date into them and made sda1 the active one. When I try and boot the VM it does not work. I used KNOPPIX to create the partitions and transfer the information from the tape drive.
I have made a partition active and it won't boot because of thefstab I suspect.bear in mind I am new to Linux/Unix.
I have the following fstab:
/ proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
/sys /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
/dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
/dev/pts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622
/dev/fd0 /media/fd0 auto user,noauto,exec,umask=000 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto user,noauo,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/hdc auto users,noauto,exec,ro 0 0
#ADDED BY KNOPPIX
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#ADDED BY KNOPPIX
/dev/sda5 /media/sda5 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#ADDED BY KNOPPIX
/dev/sda6 /media/sda6 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#ADDED BY KNOPPIX
/dev/sda7 /meda/sda7 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#ADDED BY KNOPPIX
/dev/sda8 /meda/sda8 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#ADDED BY KNOPPIX
/dev/sda9 /meda/sda9 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#ADDED BY KNOPPIX
/dev/sda10 /meda/sda10 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
------------
I tried replacing the /media/(whatever) with the parition that I wanted like /boot but it did not work. I need the following drive paritions mounted as follows:
sda5 /
sda1 /boot
sda7 /home
sda8 /usr
sda10 /var
-----------
Can someone suggest a fstab that will work?
