akshunj Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Hi all. I have a 2nd harddrive that Mandrake 10 keeps supermounting in fstab under /mnt/hd. I would like to mount it differently, but everytime I make a change to fstab, Mandy adds another /mnt/hd supermount entry after I reboot. Driving me nuts! Disabling supermount with supermount -i disable does not work. Is kudzu to blame for this? If so, how do I disable it? And I thought supermount was dead in favor of magicdev??? --Akshun J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 (edited) Have you tried to disable harddrake and hoplut from being loaded during boot? I had this problem with my zip drive in the past and it was temporarely solved doing that. I think harddrake is buggy, cause even doing that, last week I went to the mount point section in MCC and the problem appeared again. I had to spend hours playing around with fstab and harddrake to make it work properly. (it was adding zip, zip2 and zip3 to my fstab). If anyone here has a more reliable solution for this problem, please let us know. PS: I also deleted magicdev.

akshunj Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 You disabled harddrake AND magicdev and you STILL have problems. Hmmm, this is why I gave up on Mandy at 9.0. That freakin' buggy supermount. Grrr... --Akshun J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Actually, I'm not sure if it'a bug or a problem between user and pc (I'm just a linux newbie). Anyway, that 's not a problem for me, I've been avoiding to use harddrake, despite of having a usb zip drive, a 2nd usb HD and usb memory card. /dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda7 /home ext3 noatime 1 2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/altroot ext3 user,defaults 1 2 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,exec,--,umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0 none /mnt/removable supermount dev=/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/sda6 /mnt/storage ext3 user,exec,defaults 1 2 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 none /mnt/zip supermount dev=/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part4,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
