Hi All, I've been running a Debian Woody server for web and mail for a couple years, so I have _some_ general troubleshooting knowledge, but this problem has me stumped.
Some background... I recently ordered a dedicated server (from ServerBeach) do to some web hosting on. The initial Debian Woody install was done by them, but I don't know the exact installation process. I'll be trying to get that from them tomorrow to see if helps me. I also have a system here which I was trying to make identical to the dedicated server to use as a test machine before making any major changes to the dedicated server. The test machine was installed from the Debian Woody cd with a 2.2 kernel initially. I then upgraded to 2.4.18-1-k6, the dedicated server is running 2.4.18-1-k7. Both have the same partition/filesystem layout, both are using grub, and both have identical /etc/fstab files. # cat /etc/fstab: /dev/hda3 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota 0 1 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 The problem... The contents of /etc/mtab and the output from mount return different results on each system, but /proc/mounts is the same. It looks to me like the server still has /dev2/root still mounted instead of /dev/hda3. This has been causing trouble setting up quotas on the server, the error message is further down. >From the server: # cat /etc/mtab /dev2/root / ext3 rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 # mount /dev2/root on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw) /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) # cat /proc/mounts /dev2/root / ext3 rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 >From the test machine: # cat /etc/mtab /dev/hda3 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 # mount /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) # cat /proc/mounts /dev2/root / ext3 rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 Output from quotacheck... # quotacheck -cugvm /dev/hda3 quotacheck: Can't stat() mounted device /dev2/root: No such file or directory quotacheck: Can't find mountpoint for device /dev/hda3 quotacheck: No correct mountpoint specified. quotacheck: Can't initialize mountpoint scan. # quotacheck -cugvm /dev2/root quotacheck: Can't stat() mounted device /dev2/root: No such file or directory quotacheck: Can't stat() given mountpoint /dev2/root: No such file or directory Skipping... quotacheck: No correct mountpoint specified. quotacheck: Can't initialize mountpoint scan. I've STFW for two days, but havn't been able to find anything about this. I had a friend check his Debian system and his looks similar to my test system. Any help would be appreciated, even if it's just pointing out which machine is actually broken. If there's any other config files or logs I should post, I'd be happy to. Thanks in advance.
