    Exclamation One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted

    I was upgrading to karmic, then an error occurred. Now, when I try to turn my computer on, appears the following error:

    one or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted

    I removed all items on fstab and the error persists. Can't run dpkg --configure, it returns that was impossible, the file system was read-only. I tryed fsck also, but there was no problem.

    What is the output of:
    Code:
    cat /etc/fstab
    ls /dev/disk/by-uuid
    mount
    ?

    I confirm the same problem. What is worse, the root recovery shell that is presented to me is useless, as the file system comes up 'read-only' Is this related to an encrypted directory in the user's home directory?

    Yes, I had the same problem with the recovery shell being read only so I used Knoppix to edit the fstab file but even when I comment all the entries out it still halts on this error.

    Knoppix was also able to mount all the drives normally so I know it's not a hardware issue.

    In recovery console, try to remount / read/write with

    Code:
    mount -o remount,rw /

    Yes, that worked and I was then able to run dpkg to complete the upgrade.

    Nice one, thanks.

    Re: One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted

    Ever since I upgraded through Update Manager, the day after release, I'm getting the "One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted" thing. Everything boots normally, it seems as though everything is fine.. here is the
    Code:
    cat /etc/fstab
    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
    proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
    # /dev/sda1
    UUID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX /               ext3    relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
    # /dev/sda5
    UUID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX none            swap    sw              0       0
    /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
    i'm interested in correcting it, anyone have any ideas where the problem is?
