Re: [SLUG] RH9 and USB Mem Stick in FSTAB


I knew I shoulda though a little harder. Kudzu makes sense.....

As suggested by Stuart, grep fstab shows up kudzu on my own system (RH8 - non gui) so pretty sure it'll turn up on RH9 also.

Thanks to all for the responses...especially to a question to which I really shoulda spent more time thinking about....

The problem is that when the machine is rebooted, the entry is not in the fstab file anymore. "man fstab" says nothing about entries disappearing or being removed that I can see. I've got him checking the init processes and boot log to see if we can track down what is changing the fstab file during boot.


It's likely to be kudzu running and detecting that the memory stick hardware has been removed, and that that entry in /etc/fstab is superfluous.

Or, RH9 might keep some sort of golden fstab that is restored on boot. Perhaps you need to make changes to fstab through one of their GUIs?

Stabbing a bit in the dark here ...
