i'm a newbye on this forum .. and on linux too , i just instaled fedora ... and i need to know how to mount my other partitions ... i need the commands .... coze it only see the ext2 partition ( where linux is instaled) !
first run fdisk and check what it print's out and it will give your hard disks and there mount point eg.
/devhda1 / - which mean thats the root partition, once youve found what you NTFS partition is do this
Create a directory eg /ntfs mkdir /ntfs
then run this command
mount /dev/hdax /ntfs - x being the number of your NTFS partition
Disk /dev/hdb: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 155061 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 17038 43526 13349983+ 17 Hidden HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdb2 43526 155056 56211435 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hdb3 * 1021 17036 8072064 83 Linux
/dev/hdb4 1 1020 514048+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdb5 43526 77393 17069031 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdb6 77393 155056 39142341 7 HPFS/NTFS
that's what i get after fdsk -l ... i made a ntfs folder ... and after i type youre comand look what i get :
<b>[root@localhost /]# mount /dev/hdb1 /ntfs - 1</b>
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .
fedora does not come with the ntfs driver, you need to download it. its pretty simple though, just go here. you can download an rpm for your distribution, i think its important to get the same version number so use the command:
uname -r
to tell you what your kernel release number is. then download the right rpm. i will warn you that there is no write support yet, so you can only read from the drive.
how are you trying to install it? on the left hand side of the rpm link i gave, there is a list of all the fedora releases. you can click on you release and download the rpm that matches your kernel. after you get it downloaded you just type
# rpm -i kernel-module-ntfs-*.rpm
as root. if you have problems there are pages on the sight to help you
