reading FAT32 partitions in FC3


Does anybody know how to enable LVM support so I can read my FAT32 partition in Fedora core 3. I have installed FC3 with windows 2000 Pro on /dev/hda, FC3 is on /dev/hdb?

you can probably accomplish this with an entry in your /etc/fstab file. i view my WinXP system from FC3 on a dualboot laptop with an entry like this:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,defaults,noauto,managed 0 0

you will want to replace "ntfs" with "vfat" or "msdos" for file system type. this should work. it will give you read-only access. i did have to do a patch to get the nfts to work. msdos and vfat probably don't need a patch.
