Two similar 670 systems running 4.1.3. Several new disks/partitions added to each one... all is OK. Reboot; suddenly several partitions (some of which existed before the disk install) show up with wrong sizes, and/or as empty. umount -a. Then mount just one of those partitions. Is OK. umount it and "mount -a". Same problem as before. umount -a followed by individual mount of every filesystem - all OK. We can reproduce this, but don't want to spend too much time doing so to narrow down the exact problem; our users get a bit upset when we umount -a all the time. Is there a known problem with "mount -a" related to the number of mount points in fstab? (BTW, we don't use quotas or automounts if that matters). Please reply by email; I will post a summary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Adrian Booth | | | Adrian Booth Computing Consultants | Ph/Fax: (09) 354 4936 | | 7 Glenrowan Pl., Willetton WA 6155 | abcc@DIALix.oz.au | | AUSTRALIA | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- for a in past present future; do for b in clients employers associates relatives neighbours pets; do echo The opinions in this article in no way reflect the opinions of my $a $b. done;done
