/etc/fstab I made a mess ;-(

[Pantheus]

I was attempting to follow the PET and a post here as to cdrom and cdrom1 in fstab.

In doing so I messed up /mnt/floppy

I was able to mount the floppy (although it got a line 7 & line 8 error), but now it won't umount

Here's the results of /bin/mount -a

[root@localhost etc]# kedit fstab
[root@localhost etc]# /bin/mount -a
[mntent]: line 7 in /etc/fstab is bad
[mntent]: line 8 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: fs type kudzu not supported by kernel

Here's the fstab

LABEL=/                 /               ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot        /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc                     proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm               tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda5            swap                 swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/cdrom          /mnt/cdrom         iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,unhide, ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1         /mnt/cdrom1      iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,unhide, ro 0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto,owner,kudzu 0 0

Can't mount cdrom1 either get this error:

Could not mount device.  The reported error was:
[mntent]: line7 in /etc/fstab is bad
[mntent]: line8 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount can't find /mnt/cdrom1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

And yet it worked great until just now.

Can anyone get me back on track? [RH7.2, i686]

TIA,

here is your flaw:

/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy            auto,owner,kudzu 0 0

this should have been

/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy       vfat     auto,owner,kudzu 0 0

And in your cdrom and cdrom1 you have a trailing space from unhide, to ro, that should be removed.

Bingo ! Thanks!!! that fixed both of the problems

hmmmmm vfat, on a floppy, when I don't have/use vfat or vfat32 anywhere on the system, who woullda thunk that ;-)

Another reason this service is invaluable! thanks again
