i dont know, you neglected to provide very much information ...

post `emerge info` and your /etc/fstab
Comment 2 Florian Effenberger 2004-02-12 08:24:59 UTC
I didn't know what exactly to provide :)
However, the system used for compiling just died (fan error) and I need to wait until at least next week until I get a replacement for the fan, sorry...

Maybe someone else could try

emerge "=fam-1.7.0"?
Comment 3 Duncan Coutts (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-13 17:25:17 UTC
I get the same problem ever since I updated baselayout when a new version got marked stable the other day. For me it doesn't happen every time, but quite often. It happens when rebooting or shutting down.

I'm using the latest stable baselayout-1.8.6.13

I've heard other reports of this, a friend who just installed gentoo and here:

Here's by /etc/fstab and emerge info

# <fs>          	<mountpoint>    <type>  	<opts>      		<dump/pass>

# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-02-13 18:03:46 UTC
you sure it's baselayout and not reiserfs ?
the was a bug with 3.6.12 that caused errors when remounting
Comment 5 Florian Effenberger 2004-02-14 01:32:49 UTC
I'm not using ReiserFS at all, I have a NT 5.1 partition, an ext3 and one swap partition.

I'm quite new to Gentoo, so please let me know what information you need to debug, so I can attach them to this issue. :)
Comment 6 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-15 15:06:49 UTC
If that happens, what does 'cat /proc/mounts' give you?

Comment 8 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-19 09:55:51 UTC
Possible to try without using an initrd (just for testing) ?
Comment 9 Florian Effenberger 2004-02-21 05:48:08 UTC
Anyone else reading this bug who could test it?
The machine I have is currently used for another work, so I cannot recompile the kernel at this moment.
But thanks for the tip anyway, I will try it out the next time! :)
Comment 10 Florian Effenberger 2004-02-24 03:01:59 UTC
Seems to be solved with latest non-~ Portage.
