I have a multi boot system with FC5-TEST, FC3, RH9 and Centos4 (RHEL4 clone). The /boot and /home are common to all OS's. Since I installed FC5 I can not access anymore the common partitions if I boot into the older systems. Is there any solution to that problem. Any help is welcome, thanks Günter
If I recall, there was a change in the ext2 utilities from FC3 to FC4 which fsils with earlier distro created partitions.
I believe you need to disable filechecking with the entries in your fstab file. That is, change the last two digits in your older distros to zero. Alternatively, you could mount the other OS partitions whenever you need to access the files on the common partitions..
Are you talking about a common /home partition? Jim -- Time sure flies when you don't know what you're doing.
