- Hello,
-
- A few days ago, our server had a horrible crash. Everything on the network
- locked up tight and needed to be restarted the hard way. When the server
- came back up, it refused to boot in multi-user mode. The boot parameter of
- "-nbu=128" was being ignored, and the default 16 buffers were used.
-
- When the system started to boot Mach, it declared that it couldn't write to
- mtab because the file system was read only!!! The only way around this at
- present is to boot in single-user mode, then continue the multi-user startup.
-
- Has anyone run into this sort of problem before, or have any idea where I an
- look to cure it? It may not be a 3.0 bug, but on the other hand, perhaps it
- is... Thanks in advance.
