Hi all. Can anyone tell me how I can access the fstab file in the CLI and write to it in recovery mode? Currently, Ubuntu 11 won't start since I tried to permanently add the Windows OS folders by adding the UUID to the fstab file. Using the CLI in recovery mode, I can access the fstab file but only as read only, so I can't remove this mount addition, even though I'm accessing it as root.
When you've logged in as root, type this: mount -oremount,rw / then cd /etc nano fstaband edit it as required. I'd start by simply commenting out the line you put in.
I also have an fstab.save and an fstab.save.1 file. They also have this additional mount instruction. Are these other 2 fstab files needed?
I don't know of a mechanism whereby one fstab will read another, so they're probably not needed.
