Added a second Hard Drive
 
I am currently running SuSE 10 and have added a second hard drive just for space. The machine is dual boot, so I have formatted it as FAT 32 so to have read and write from both systems. The windows system is xp service pack 2. Everything is set up fine but when mounting the new drive from suse partition I get an error that the drive does not have an fstab entry. Is there a way or module in yast, that would force yast to reread, and rewrite etc/fstab. Thanks in advance for helping me out.
Thanks,
Chris

Why don't you add the fstab entry yourself?
It's not that difficult...

Something like:
/dev/hdb1 /windows/c vfat defaults 0 0
should work. Have a look at the above link for more options.

Enjoy,

Thank's wasabi I checked out the link, and that is about as detailed as you can get. I don't think I will have a problem putting in the new entry. But just as a question and if anyone knows with all of the automation that is within yast I would think there would be a module just to repair that for you.
