How to mount more space?
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 7:49 pm
Hi I know this is an old one - and really all I should have to do is run 'magic newfs' however (possibly because my Gentoox is a slightly older version, though perfectly stable, so no need to change it) unfortunately magic has stopped working - or at least when it tries to download the newest version of itself it fails.
In any case, I have Gentoox installed on my Xbox and recently the rootfs became corrupted after a hard reset. No big deal really, as I just restored the rootfs from a backup I had on my xbox.
However within my previous rootfs I had sucessfully ran 'magic newfs' - although this was over a year or more ago. I created two new compressed file systems and told Magic to mount these at /usr/portage and /var/log (I did this as these were the two directories that were causing the most space related issues). I then copied the contents of the var and portage directories to these new locations.
However with my new/backup rootfs, these file systems created by portage aren't being mounted - and aren't listed in my fstab.
The question is therefore, how do I correctly add entries to my fstab so that these additional file systems will be mounted at boot?.
The name of each of my file systems created by magic are 'portage' and 'log'.
