Re: [coLinux-users] Fwd: Re: fsck of root fs fails

[Henry N. <hen...@ar...>]

Hello Andreas,

if you have hda1 in the file "/etc/fstab", then please use this config:

hda1="c:\Programme\coLinux\root_fs
root=/dev/hda1


Please don't use initrd.gz, if you have trobble with fsck, because this 
initrd.gz tries to mount your filesystem "rw" to inject the modules. 
Later (after fsck success), you can enable initrd for one boot. And more 
later you never needs initrd again, as long you not upgraded coLinux 
version.

Of curse "ro" is not ignored. That's why you see such mysterious output. 
Mount will read some times from /etc/mtab, so that fails on read only 
mounted filesystems. Please ask the kernel directly with "cat /proc/mounts".

Henry
