It was formated NTFS.
I reformatted ext3.
Made an fstab entry -> /dev/sdc /home/me/REPOSITORY ext3 defaults 1 1
Now my machine does not boot properly.
It fails a filesystem check and I get the error "fsck.exts:: No such
file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdc1"
I am then prompted for pass word for repair, but I am unsure as to how
to proceed. What do I do now.... I entered the root password, and tried
to edit /etc/fstab to remove the above mentioned entry, but /etc/fstab
is read only and i can't save the changes.
