Volume won't mount at bootup

It could be there was already an installed filesystem or grub-file on the disk, detected by the new installation.
RedHat follows it up with an extra "1".
You can change this with tune2fs.


# Mounting 
What you can do is to modify the /etc/fstab with hardcoded lines from disk to mountpoints and test this works better after boot and 'mount -a'.

Also check your logfiles (dmesg, boot and messages) why the system have some problems to mount the partitions.

Check the /etc/grub maybe there is a conflict with pointing to the right filesystem (like '/' or '/1').


good luck.

regards 
Ron.

Would there be any reason why a file system would not mount after the 
system reboots? I have a /Users partition that doesn't automount.
I can manually mount it after the system comes up though.

$ df -klh

Also, what is the meaning of the numeral 1 at the end of
each label name i.e. boot1, var1, /usr/local1

I can manually mount /Users as such

[root at 07 ~]$ mount /Users
[root at 07 ~]$ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/cciss/c0d0p3     19840924    176212  18640572   1% /Users

Also, why when I  umount -a and then mount -a not all file systems get 
mounted?

[root at 07 ~]$ umount -a
umount: /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs: device is busy
umount: /Users: device is busy
umount: /var: device is busy


[root at 07 ~]$ df
