RE: [PLUG] More Gentoo Questions


"#1 - it looks like i have a partition mounted twice in the same location
more specifically, /dev/hda2 is mounted at / twice.  I was wondering if
this is because this is listed in /etc/fstab and b/c there is a line in
the boot loader that says real_root=/dev/hda2 (from the gentoo install
handbook).  could this be the cause?  If so, how should I fix it so that
it will boot up (as I won't have physical access for a while, should
something be messed up), and is there a way to fix it now that it is
running and not mess up the whole thing (umount / is probably a bad idea)"

You cannot mount the same partition twice to the same mount point. Something
might of got messed up in /etc/mtab so mount shows it twice. I wouldn't
worry about it, rebooting would fix /etc/mtab or just using vi to remove the
second entry.
