Hi,
I am trying to use xfs as my root partition and it is being
mislabeled. for instance I installed on /dev/hda3. I setup a smaller
partition on dev/hda1 with xfs and booted to that partition. The data
and the size of the root partition indicate that /dev/hda1 is mounted as
root. however df indicates that /dev/hda3 is mounted as root. Because of
this /dev/hda3 is transparent, in other words I can't mount it. This is
the second time I have gone through this last time hda3 and hda1 were in
opposite corners. I tried deleting the ext2 (at the time /dev/hda1)
partition and then I got a bunch of read only filesystem errors during
boot to the xfs partition. So this time I removed the read-only from the
xfs boot partitions boot clause. It still mislabels them and I am
reluctant to take risk destroying my system as it is used for other
things and I already had to reinstall it once over this. So, short of
trying to delete the existing ext2 partition any ideas on how to get the
operating system to see this correctly?
