[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#332309: mounting local filesystems failed on two machines running etch

[Johan Laenen]

Package: initscripts
Version:  2.86.ds1-2

Hi,

I'm running Linux toshiba 2.4.24-ck1 #1 SMP Sun Jan 25 16:34:41 CET 2004 
i686 GNU/Linux on an old toshiba satellite 4090CDS and Linux gargle 
2.6.10-20050207 #1 SMP Mon Feb 7 19:06:10 CET 2005 i686 GNU/Linux on my 
desktop.

Both machines show 'Mounting local filesystems... failed' during the 
boot messages. The log files /var/log/messages, /var/log/dmesg, and 
others however do not show this. It's only during the boot. Both 
machines work fine after.

On my toshiba I have:

/etc/fstab:

/dev/hda2        / ext3          defaults        0       1
/dev/hda3        none    swap    sw      0       0
proc  /proc  proc  defaults  0  0
/dev/fd0  /mnt/auto/floppy  auto  
defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022  0  0
/dev/cdrom  /mnt/auto/cdrom  auto  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0

/etc/mtab:

/dev/hda2 / ext3 rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0

On my desktop I have:

/etc/fstab:

/dev/hda2        / ext3          defaults        0       1
/dev/hda3        none    swap    sw      0       0
none    /proc  proc  defaults  0  0
/dev/fd0  /mnt/auto/floppy  auto  
defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022  0  0
/dev/cdrom      /mnt/auto/cdrom  auto  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
/dev/hdd        /mnt/cdrom  auto  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
none   /sys   sysfs   defaults   0  0

/etc/mtab:

/dev/hda2 / ext3 rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0

/etc/bootclean.sh seems to differ between both machines (probably my 
mistake somewhere). A diff between the toshiba version and the desktop 
gives (diff toshiba desktop):
