Hi,

I changed the vfstab to have add quotas to the users home directory. Unfortunately, I have managed to have 2 entries pointing to the same disk. I've booted from the CD and attempted to mount the root partition on /a, but it fails. Anyone know a way to reset or reconfigure the vfstab ?

Thanks,
Ciaran.

Hi all,
Wrong disk!! Using format told me the correct disk that '/' was on.

Cheers,
Ciaran,

If you are not sure type in format, select 0, then p for partition and then
p for print. You should see something like the
following:

format>

Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 0 - 969 1.66GB (970/0/0) 3483270
1 swap wu 970 - 2110 1.95GB (1141/0/0) 4097331
2 backup wm 0 - 4923 8.43GB (4924/0/0) 17682084
3 unassigned wm 2111 - 4923 4.82GB (2813/0/0) 10101483
4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0


Part = partition slice. Type in q for quit twice to get back to a command
line.
