hi guys

I need your help

the fstab file in my /etc directory has been corrupted and is now blank.
Linux will not boot to run level3.  Infact it boots to a single user read
only file system mode.  I cannot edit anyfiles on my box.  I cannot run fsck
as it says that the fsck passno is missing from the fstab file.  I have
tried running fsconf in an attempt to rebuild the fstab file without
success.  Does anybody know how to resolve this.??

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Regards
Ruari Jansen

If you are using rhl, then check up /usr/doc/mount/examples/fstab.gz
You can get partition info using df -k.
