Topic: [RESOLVED] fstab messed up...

[jester]

Hi,

I've messed up my system by trying to custom-template the fstab file... my own fault, i should have read the warnings... no time to do things can be a b*tch  

I've got two IDE drives in this system mirrored by SME (software raid). I've now got this system running with the following in my grub.conf for mounting root and swap:

Can someone tell me if i'm allowed to use these /dev/mapper/main-.... devices in grub. I've got no idea what grub.conf looked like before i destroyed it.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
jester.

Hey jester,
My system is 2 hdd IDE raid, but without a cd drive. If it will help for comparing, here is my fstab:

And here is my grub.conf:

***Take note that I added the ide0=ata66 and ide1=ata66 to my grub.conf manually.***
Good luck.

Thanks Boss_hog !!

My solution worked but i'd rather use the proper (standard sme) settings for fstab.... the ones you posted.


Kind regards,
jester.
