how to add partitions
I have windows, mandrake, and fedora core 4 on one hard disk
I want to copy files from windows and mandrake using fedora I a long time ago I used to edit the fstab file and add a few entries for mandrake I put in this /dev/hda5 /mandrake ext3 defaults 1 2 and for windows I put in this /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0022,nls=utf8,ro 0 0 then on the command line do a >_exportfs I think fedora has changed to using a fstab-sync program, but I dont know how to use that program to add the other two partitions. can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial or quickly explain how to add the other two other partitions to the file system so I can read the files. |
Disregard the bit at the topof /etc/fstab . You can edit it directly in any text editor.

files dont show up
I editeded the file and did the exportfs
but the files dont show up |
This works on my system, linux can read ntfs partitions , but there are apparatly many problems with writing to them. with the fat32 partition, Ican doanything,ad with linux commands!
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat nodev 1 2 Hope this helps. |
cant mount ntfs
I got the mandrak partition working but
the windows xp wont mount because it says unknown file system I went to the /etc/filesystems and added ntfs is there a way to add the ntfs support during the instalation |
you cannot mount the ntfs partitions during instalaltion of fedora but can mount after installation read this link .
