[QUOTE="rman, post: 27477, member: 23"] Here is what I would do. Bring your system down to single user mode. Then unmount all filesystems. Looking at your fstab you should only have the root partition mounted (/). Now I would save a copy of the fstab file, then I would edit the fstab file and restore everything to the correct mounts. The next thing I would do is rename the old mount points, the one with the 1s in them. Then the next step is to bring you system but up to multiple user mode. Since I am more comfortable with IRIX and AIX, just reboot the system, If all goes will you should have your correct mounts again. If so you can remove the backup copy of the fstab and directories or folders. Now for the disclaimer, I have a good working knowkedge of IRIX, Solaris, SunOS, AIX and HP-UX. I am just starting to get a feel for Mac OS X. So if you try this beware. I know it would work with any of the above favorites of Unix. [/QUOTE]
