1. The correct file is /etc/fstab, not /etc/mtab.
/etc/mtab tells you what is currently mounted.
2. /etc/mtab can get corrupted. (In fact, you corrupted it!)
Trust /proc/mounts.
3. If /etc/fstab has LABEL=/var and LABEL=/home lines, like follows,
LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
then you will need to change the filesystem labels on the
disk partitions, e.g.,
tune2fs -L /var /dev/hda3
tune2fs -L /home /dev/hda6
Alternatively, you could hardwire the disk partitions,
but this is less flexible:
/dev/hda3 /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
Of course you are doing this as root all from a rescue disk or
single user mode ...
