File system not mounting during system boot Unix

       I had a strange problem when I added a new file system to one of my Linux box. The file system is not mounting. But it turned out to be a funny mistake :)

I have added the file system like this in /etc/fstab

/dev/vg00/lvol03        /usr                   ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol04        /usr/src             ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol07      /var/crash        ext3    defaults     1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol02        /var                   ext3    defaults       1 2

See the file system in bold. You guess it  correctly !!

Before mounting the /var file system, os is trying to mount  /var/crash, simply it  fails :)

Change the fstab entry like this it will work..








/dev/vg00/lvol03        /usr                   ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol04        /usr/src             ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol02        /var                   ext3    defaults       1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol07      /var/crash        ext3    defaults     1 2
