Why is the 1 there?

[StanLin]

I did a reinstall. Why has my partitions been labeled usr1, usr/local1 and var1? Here is my fstab file:


LABEL=/1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/home /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
LABEL=/usr1 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/usr/local1 /usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/var1 /var ext2 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb4 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb8 /mnt/old ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda11 /mnt/winE vfat auto,owner 0 0
/dev/hdb9 /mnt/winF vfat auto.owner 0 0

That is very odd.

I've never heard of anything like that before infact.

What is under /mnt/old ?

What happens if you just comment out the #LABEL lines and reboot? I don't think this can hurt you but I'm not certain.

It would seem you reinstalled over top of the previous install and then it renamed the old directories to /whatever1 and then created mountpoints for them all to /mnt/whatever to make it seem like a normal filesystem.

Even root is /1 and is mounted to /.

Never seen that happen before though I use Caldera and I get little experience from having to reinstall. :D

Very strange indeed.

If you are not worried about losing anything, then just reinstall this time formatting the partitions.
