Okey, Sio I kicked out all Windblows stuff, and I'm running Slackware 9.1 only.
I'm running two harddrives, one 80 gig and one 160 gig.
I installed Slack on the 80 gig, and at that time, my 160 gig was NTFS, since I was in need of some files there.
I mounted the Win drive, got my files, and then deleted the partitions.
Then I created four Linux partitions of 40 gigs, which I wanna use.
I then did this in my fstab:
/dev/hdc2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1 ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdd2 /mnt/hdd2 ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdd3 /mnt/hdd3 ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdd4 /mnt/hdd4 ex3 defaults 1 1
And some floppy and cdrom stuff, which I guess isn't all that important.
However, it would appear that Linux is not able to use that extra space.
I can't mount it, then I get the usual error message, unknown FS or too many mounted devices.
I also tried actually using the space, copying my movies over to /mnt/hdd1 which did not work, got an error message because I lacked space, and I can assure you, there was enough space.
I tired searching around a bit, but I never found any help about this exact problem, or anything that was close.
