Re: /etc/fstab error

This is all off of the top of my head, so I could be off
somewhere, but....

You say it's dropping you into "a repair
mode"--perhaps using the installation media to start in
its repair mode and then mounting root that way will allow
you to edit the file.  Then, don't use the label and see if
it works using /dev/hda6.  I've had problems with labels
before that were basically unexplainable (at face value--I
didn't bother researching too much).

Hi all,

I am using fedora 6.
I have edited file /etc/fstab file by adding to the
following line:

LABEL=/download    /download        ext3         defaults   
        1   2

I have succeeded mounting it on /dev/hda6 and accessed files
on this
partition
but when I later rebooted the system it dropped to a repair
mode. As a root
I have
tried to restore the file (/etc/fstab) back to its original
state but the it
is always read-only
mode. I have tried to chmod it (a=rw), I have checked the
file attrributes
using chattr /etc/fstab,I have saved it with :wq! . Nothing
worked.

any suggests?

thank you

Thanks for your help. Problem solved.

I used rescue disk, and the file /etc/fstab is now
editable.

thanks!

You could have also done mount -o remount,rw / from within
single user mode
"Maintenance Mode".
