Re: Recovery

[Linux Pquter <linuxpquter yahoo com>]

You're a genius. And I may not be ready for my test.
For various reasons we have a 'local mounts' fstab and
a 'nfs mounts' fstab. I ended up wiping the local
mounts portion and had only nfs mount points listed in
it.

Thank you. I learned that the (null) entry is a dead
giveaway for no mountpoint being defined.

For the sake of curiosity, other than not checking the
contents of fstab, did I take the correct actions in
attempting to recover a system?
