After optimizng the fstab values for my main server HDD, the server is unable to boot and i can't debug it because i'm controlling it remotly, this what i've entered

/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,usrquota,noatime,nodiratime,data=writeback,commit=30 1 1

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0

none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0

none /var/tmp tmpfs

defaults,rw,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,size=3g 0 0

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

What is wrong with those values? i'm using centos 64bit

Does your server have enough RAM to support a 3 gigabyte tmpfs RAM disk? – ultrasawblade Apr 30 '11 at 18:31
I have 8G.B RAM, what you think? – danswano May 2 '11 at 9:54

Are these two separate lines in your fstab?

"none /var/tmp tmpfs

defaults,rw,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,size=3g 0 0"

If so, that is a problem.

Even if they are a single line, I think it is still a problem. Except for "size=3g", none of those options you specified are valid mount options for a tmpfs. You can view the valid options in the manpage for mount.

They are single line but i saw those values used already on a box, how they managed to boot with those values? – danswano May 2 '11 at 9:54
