Mounting a FAT32 Partition
 
While installing Ubuntu, I forgot to mount my FAT32 partition. I think I have to type some commands into the console, but I don't know what. Its path is /dev/sda2.

Can someone help me?

Do you want to mount this temporarily, or permanently?

If you want to just quickly mount it, you would do something like:

sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/fat32

(You would need to make the /mnt/fat32 directory in that example.)

If you want it to be persistent, then you need to add it to /etc/fstab.

I brought up fstab, but I don't know what I need to add.

add
/dev/sda2 vfat /mnt/fat32 rw,umask=0222 0 0

You would add something like:

Code:

/dev/sda2    /mnt/fat32    vfat    defaults    0    0

/dev/sda2 (tab) /shared (tab) vfat (tab) defaults (tab) 0 0
