Why everytime i reboot my unix machine my mounted /c1 and /c0 partition are gone?

i have an SCO unix machine, and i made 2 partitions called /c1 and /c0 i mounted them from /dev/c0 and /dev/c1 to /c1 /c0, now if i reboot the machine /c0 will desapear and /c1 sometimes will stay there and their volumes will change too. ( i`ve go a couple of answers, and i checked the /ETC/FSTAB i dont have that file in SCO. or VFSTAB

Make sure you have the mounts added to /etc/vfstab - otherwise they aren't persistent between reboots.

To really help you out, we are going to need more info. Run these commands and paste the output into your question:

df -k
mount
uname -v

# df -k
/ (/dev/root ): 14932407 blocks 4368928 i-nodes
/stand (/dev/boot ): 10559 blocks 4992 i-nodes
# mount
/ on /dev/root read/write on Wed Dec 17 10:29:01 2008
/stand on /dev/boot read only on Wed Dec 17 10:29:01 2008
# uname -v
5.0.6
So, I need to see in mount, /c0 comming from /dev/c0 and /dev/c1 but i cant see to have it right.

Looks like someone used 'Filesystem Manager' gui to manage the filesystems. Do a cat of /etc/default/filesys and paste the output here.

Looks like you just need to add this to the end of /etc/default/filesys:

bdev=/dev/c0 cdev=/dev/rc0 mountdir=/c0 rcmount=yes mount=yes fsckflags=-y
bdev=/dev/c1 cdev=/dev/rc0 mountdir=/c1 rcmount=yes mount=yes fsckflags=-y

I am not that familiar with the details of SCO Unix, however, I can share some ideas how to debug.

If a partition is not supposed to be auto-mounted by some magic background auto-mounting program, when you reboot whatever you mounted will not be mounted unless up put the appropriate mounting entries in /etc/fstab. Even if you do have the auto-mounter, it would probably not hurt to put the entries into /etc/fstab anyway.

Otherwise, you could write a script and invoke it from the SCO equivalent of /etc/init.d/boot.local (or whatever it calls the last script that is invoked during the boot sequence). The script will check if the partition is mounted, and mount it if it is not.

In order to automatically mount a partition, you must edit the /etc/fstab file. The fstab file tells Linux where to mount all partitions located within the system.

[root@roswell root]# vim /etc/fstab

and add a line with the information you are specifying in the mount command

There is no 'vfat' filesystem type in SCO unix.

Using your mount option of 'ro' would mount the filesystem read-only. Not very useful.

Check out your /etc/fstab (or /etc/vfstab) ... The mount information needs to be there if you want your volume to be automatically mounted on reboot.
It would be something like
/dev/c0 /c0 ext3 auto,users,ro 0 0

No such thing as 'ext3' filesystem type in SCO unix.
