Filesystems Not Mounting

Let me clarify:
At boot time when all of the entries in fstab are normally mounted,
the duplicates in the fstab are not mounted. The duplicate entries
are a result of the following:
As an example, I entered a 'ls -ltr /usr/oracle' and a single line
containing 0 was returned (it should have at least showed the
lost+found directory entry).
I then entered 'sudo mount -a'; and received many messages stating
that there are missing mount points.
As an example I entered 'sudo mkdir -p /usr/oracle'
I then entered: 'sudo mount /dev/mapper/DBMSVG00-DBMSLV00
/usr/oracle' (from my fstab entry)
At this point is when I realized that there are now duplicate
entries in fstab, however, /usr/oracle is available and usable.
I hope this clarifies my situation.
Thanks,
