For whatever reason I couldn't get /dev/sda3 in fstab to work when I originally installed Gentoo on this box many moons ago, I had to use /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3. I never did figure out why. An ls yeilds: # ls -al /dev/sd* lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Oct 18 16:15 /dev/sda -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Oct 18 16:15 /dev/sda1 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Oct 18 16:15 /dev/sda2 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Oct 18 16:15 /dev/sda3 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 Is there some reason the symbolic links wouldn't have worked? My fear is if I change my root in fstab to /dev/sda3 my 2.4 kernel won't come back up, and at $125/hr I'm really trying to avoid getting the NOC involved. Is there any way to determine/test whether the configuration is going to work under devfs and/or udev without actually rebooting? After editing /etc/fstab to /dev/sdaX I tried: # mount -fav And all it said was: mount: none already mounted on /dev/shm none on /proc type proc (rw) But is that a true test of whether it is going to work on reboot? > fstab doesn't have to take block devices, it can take labels too, you could > look into labeling your partitions. I'll look into that, but same question applies, is it possible to verify my changes before I reboot? Thanks Again! Ian -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
