Hi,
I tried upgrade my FC4 box to FC5 from DVD, but I got the message
=======================================================================
Error mounting device /mnt/disk1/home as /home: No such file or directory
This most likely means this partition has not been formatted.
Press OK to reboot your system.
=======================================================================
The only action at this point is to push the "OK" button for the
reboot.
My fstab file is following
=============================================================
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for
details
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda8 /mnt/disk1 ext3 defaults 1 2
/mnt/disk1/usr /usr none bind 0 0
/mnt/disk1/home /home none bind 0 0
/mnt/disk1/var /var none bind 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0
==============================================================
I skip several unimportant lines from fstab (mounting CD-ROM,
DVD, floppy, and win partitions). It is not clear from fstab that
/dev/hdb2=/
/dev/hdb1=/boot
hda1, hda5, hda6, hda7 are win partitions.
This fstab is correct. I found (from ALT-F2 console) that anaconda installer
mounted / and /boot correctly to /mnt/sysimage, then skiped line
/dev/hda8 /mnt/disk1 ext3 defaults 1 2
(why??), and then failed mount /home.
Is it possibbe to say anaconda installer what partitions should be mounted?
Any ideas how to upgrade such system?
