HELP !!! Stuck Badly !!
Question: I changed /etc/fstab with the following line to mount /dev/ hdc7
This is another Linux partition on my Hard Drive. Then I had to shutdown my PC. After that my PC is not booting at all. and says that I can either reboot or login as root to do maintenance.
I am currently typing this using Knoppix with CDROM Boot/ USE. Thank God I had this CD.
From Knoppix, I am not allowed to write to /etc/fstab as it is protected. What can I do now to get out of this situation ?
Answer: You have to mount your VL boot partition from Knoppix (or another distro) with write access, i.e. with umask=0 and without ro attribute.
For the future there are many rescue disk that mount drives automatically with write access. Vector linux live cd being one of them. I keep a bunch of them around for such instances, and find them invaluable. Suse live cd, bbc live cd, or tomsrbt floppy linux all will do the trick as well.
Answer: You should very well be able to write to that partition, you may just not be root:
As long as you are, and it's a linux file system, then you should have no problems writing to any of the files on it. If you are, remount it in rw mode, specifying the option:
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdx /mnt/whatever -o users,exec,rw
