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 ...
