[Solved] Can't use pacman anymore

SanderPeters · 2012-05-23 14:44:16

Hello,

Suddenly every time I try to install a something with pacman I get the following error:

error: could not determine filesystem mount points
error: not enough free disk space
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

The command "df" gives the following output, which also seems kinda strange:

df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory

I'm using a dual boot with archlinux and windows 7.
I also use my /home partition with windows.

I have no idea what caused this trouble, I hope that someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance!

file /etc/mtab
and check that proc is mounted

Does /etc/mtab exist?

Making /etc/mtab a symlink to /pro/sef1/mounts fixed the problem
Thanks for your help

Let me guess, you did rm /etc/mtab because there was a file conflict when you updated earlier?
