Hey There,

So I've followed this post here. Its worked except for the fact that my /usr and /opt refuse to auto mount even though my /etc/fstab reflects the proper lines... I was wondering if anyone might have some input on what I might be doing wrong - my /etc/fstab is the following:

Code:
rootfs / rootfs defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p6 /usr ext3 rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p5 /opt ext3 rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p2 /home ext3 rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs vfat noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133,rodir 0 0
The only thing I changed in the guide is that I used mkfs.ext2 -j to make ext3 partitions instead of ext2 (I like journaling support).. When I run df -h it shows that my /home and /home/user/MyDocs have been adjusted to the proper size (19.7 and 2 gigs) and I can manually mount /dev/mmcblk0p6 and /dev/mmcblk0p5 and they contain the proper files they should - how ever they refuse to mount for me at startup as they should... suggestions?

EDIT: I can manually mount the partitions to /opt and /usr and they appear to work just fine... How would I automate it? I thought that is what fstab is for >.<

Regards,
~Jeff

You did run all the sed and other commands? They are NOT optional. They will add the mounting as well.

Before moving /usr somewhere else and making whole system more fragile (by splitting it across more devices and possibly breaking your original system in the process) consider moving whole root instead i.e. booting from something else (microsd). Most of the system is in /usr anyway so you won't save much by having only /usr moved.

Advantage is having another bootable system left in internal flash when something breaks.With mmc partition big enough everything can be there including /opt.
