- Check /etc/mount.all and /etc/checklist for entries pointing
- to the former filesystems. /etc/chekclist is used by fsck to check
- filesystems at boot time. /etc/mount.all is pointed to by /etc/rc
- at bootime to mount any ancillary systems.
-
- To be accurate, /v and /w are not the names of the paritions.
- Rather they are the names of the directories on which the file systems
- found in partitions 6 & 7 were mounted.
-
- Good Luck!
