I have mounted a partition and add it to fstab file and then rebooted but I see that the partition is not mounted although it was added to fstab.
What is wrong, and how can I solve it?
fstab line:
/dev/xvdf /dev/xvdb1 ext3 defaults 0 0
/etc/fstabdon't reboot to test it. Usemount -aan check if it worked. – jippie May 19 '12 at 7:28/dev/xvdfand/dev/xvdb1? What is the output tocat /proc/partitions? What device do you want to mount and what should the mountpoint be (where should it appear in the file tree)? – jippie May 19 '12 at 8:11mount -ais almost always a good habit to check the validity of fstab. The reason it is good is that it will immediately list any errors it finds, so you not only know whether the file is valid, but if it isn't, you know what the errors are, which, of course, is a nice first step to solving the problem. – Marty Fried May 19 '12 at 17:57
