partition not showing
 

I have two partitions (/dev/hda8 and hda9) that i cant acess, this is my fsdisk "table":

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 510 4096543+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 511 2490 15904350 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 511 956 3582463+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda6 957 987 248976 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda7 988 1500 4120641 83 Linux native
/dev/hda8 1501 2000 4016218+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda9 2001 2490 3935893+ 83 Linux native

and this is my /etc/fstab :

/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda8 /backup 1 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda9 /backup 2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /windows vfat defaults 1 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0

i tried to mount it and got this:

bash-2.05# mount /dev/hda8
mount: fs type 1 not supported by kernel


thanks

Have you tried
mount -text2 /dev/hda8 /mount/point
?
And according to your fstab these two somehow got fs type 1 and 2 respectively, try changing them to ext2.

Your problem is these two lines:

/dev/hda8 /backup 1 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda9 /backup 2 defaults 1 1

Try changing them to this:

/dev/hda8 /backup1 ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda9 /backup2 ext2 defaults 1 1

Also, make sure you have the directories /backup1 and /backup2 created.

it a little late but thanks a lot guys it worked just fine , i feel stupid .. the problem was the naming (backup 1 and 2 ) of the partitions that meesed up.

You're welcome. :)
