[rhn-users] error file system check

Wed Jul 5 13:18:33 UTC 2006

Hallo again

I tryed to edit fstab but it is a zero bytes file (it is actually empty).
I assume this is my problem.

The other problem is that when I enter with my root password to the Repair
filesystem shell I have Read-only file system and hence I cannot modify
the fstab file.

What can I do?

I look forward for your help.

With kind regards

Prodromos Zanis
