must have done something wrong
Authored by: txiki on Oct 11, '02 10:08:03PM

hi.

i must have done something wrong. i have moved apps and users to their own partitions. i'm not so sure about swap... i can't find the swapfile0... and mail partition is empty. besides, all of the partitions still show up in my desktop.

also, what do i exactly was supposed to do when rebooting in single user mode? i did it and got a cursor waiting for me... so i typed exit.

thanx.

When you reboot into single user mode, there should be instructions on-screen to type fsck -y, and then mount rw /.

If not, I wonder what you did?

Give that a whirl.

If you didn't do any of the single user mode stuff, no wonder it's not working. :)

i tried again. now i have apps and users each in its own partition that still mounts on the desktop, but that doesn't bother me.

when booting in single user mode the last thing was something like sh2a# (i don't remember exactly) then i typed fsck and after that all the mv users users-old etc.

i prefer to leave the virtual memory alone. i'll wait for swapcop to work in jaguar.

thanks.
