Hello,
I need help regarding mounting file system in centos,(NTFS)
I am able to mount hda5 which is NTFS in centos by editing /etc/fstab,
but not able to mount sda7( also NTFS)at that same time,however after editing /etc/fstab i can mount one HDD at any time, making both entries in /etc/fstab is not working.
BOTH HDDs are NTFS , one is SATA and other is IDE, Please guide regariing it.(in detail)

Thanks

[root@localhost ~]#

if both entry are made then only sata HDD gets mounted, the IDE does not get mounted.

Thanks and regards.

It seems you are mounting partition on same dir.
If you want to mount two or more partition at same time, use different mount point.

create two dir dir1 and dir2 under /mnt and add entry in fstab like
