Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 4.9G 2.6G 2.1G 57% /
/dev/hda6 9.6G 4.0G 5.6G 42% /home
Why isn't /dev/hdb5 showing? I can access the files that Mandrake moved when it (apparently) shifted the /tmp directory resting in the /tmp directory, but I want to make sure!
Well because you've got it set to not automount (noauto). It's not mounted because you/mandrake made it that way Either change the noauto to auto, or simply mount up the drive with:
mount /tmp
And still the partition isn't showing in 'df -h'. Could the problem be something to do with one of the last two columns? I tried using the setting for the /home partition (ie '1 2' but the system wouldn't reboot (superblock error...)
Hello!
the output from the command 'mount /dev/hdb5' is
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb5,
or too many mounted file systems
What can I infer from this? That something might be wrong with the disc? (It would really suck if Iend up having to add a windows dual boot OS, just to see if the disk is mountable in windows.)
