Hello, I'd like to mount my root file system with the sync option, but when I modified /etc/fstab, the filesystem appeared to be mounted noexec when I rebooted. I had to use a rescue disk and change the options back to defaults in order to boot the system. Here is the line I modified in my /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 / ext2 rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,nouser,sync 1 1 I may have had them in a slightly different order such as rw,auto,dev,exec,suid,nouser,sync. These are the defaults options with async replaced with sync. Does anyone know what I did wrong? Is it possible to mount the root file system with options other than defaults, in particular sync? Any help is appreciated. Regards, Trevor Astrope [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
