How to mount window partition ....?
 

I've successfully mounted the MS windows partition in RedHat9.0.

I had created a directory WinData and typed the following

/dev/hda1 /WinData

and successfully mounted the partition. I could read all the data !

However, when the next time I login, I noticed that only the directory (i.e. WinData) remains there, but it's not mounted !

What should I do if everytime I login I want it mounted automatically ? and does it applicable to every user ? or I could assign to some users only ?

Thank you¡I

put the entry in /etc/fstab

Can u tell me in detail ? how to "put" ? what is "entry" ?

you need to "put" the following line (entry") in /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1 /windata vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0

#man fstab

for more "detail"s

:)

as root, do the following...

open /etc/fstab with your favorite editor (vi, gedit, etc...)

create a line that looks like this:

/dev/hda1 /WinData vfat defaults 0 0

and save the file. Now, each time you boot it will automatically mount this to /WinData.

Good luck!
