I made the leap (of faith) to Fedora Core 6 this weekend. Everything
went pretty smoothly except for a few glitches. Hopefully someone else
has worked through this as well and can provide some assistance.

I have a small network at home: one p3, a dual-proc PPro 2, a small
unbranded laptop and a PPro (both running W2K). My problem is
three-fold:
1 - I have a 300GB primary HDD in the P3 and a smaller 4GB HDD. Both are
formatted to ext3. The smaller drive I use to stuff web downloads that
need to be made available to other workstations in the network. I edit
my fstab file as below:
LABEL=/storage /storage ext3 defaults 1 2

When the host reboots, it flags an error on this line and kicks me into
Emergency Boot mode.

2 - I have a mount point setup (/backup) that I export via NFS to my
other linux workstation as well as the two Windows machines. When I
login to the other linux machine (it is running Fedora Core 2), it SEES
the mount point, but it cant mount it. The error message I get is
'Permission denied from NFS server'

3 - I have a drive that is available via Samba from the Windows desktop.
It is readily seen and mountable (via fstab) from the linux workstation
running FC2, but the workstation running FC6 flags the fstab file with
an error that the smbfs file system is not recognized.

Has anyone else seen or observed this problem? When both of my linux
workstations were on FC2, I had no problems whatsoever running Samba or
NFS.

You can reply off-line if you wish. Thanks for your help,

Joe Cipale
