Is the filesystem you're trying to edit mounted?
You may need to mount it, and then try your editing.
Hello I have problems moving my edited fstab to overwrite the original fstab and i get the error
bash:/dev/null:Permission denied
knoppix:/#
while running the command
su
chroot /mnt/hda7/
I have also made my partition write but I get the errors
Access denied couldn't write to /mnt/hda7/eetc/fstab
Access denined to /mnt/hda7/eetc/fstab

Yes its mountedOriginally Posted by eon
Post the output of mount
Also you have one e too many in: Access denined to /mnt/hda7/eetc/fstab
OTOH since denined is also misspelled it's a typo instead of copy paste?
how do you do mount
Open a console, type mount and post the line for hda7
man mount gives you the manual for mount, quit by pressing q
In Knoppix or Suse?Originally Posted by Markus
In knoppix. That's after all what you're mounting if you boot knoppix. You can post the line from suse as well, just say which is which.
Well, it's night in Finland and I need some sleep.
When you type sudo mount -a all partitions should be mounted writable.
Check with mount and you should see a line like this: /dev/hda6 on /mnt/hda6 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,grpid)
Yours will probably be different, IIRC suse uses reiserfs so you can also mount with:
sudo mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 -t reiserfs -o remount,rw (if it's not already mounted you can skip the remount part)
Also here is my fstab
/dev/hda7 / reiserfs rw,acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hda2 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
