Ok, i have a 320gig hard drive partitioned up. I have a partiton for root, usr/local, and /home. So i left a bunch of space for data. I formatted that partition with the same files system as the rest, reisers. I have been reading the tutorial on how to mount hard drives and stuff but I keep gettinga an error. In fstab i put: /dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8 reiserfs defaults 1 2. Then i try to mount the hard drive with: mount /mnt/hda8, then it gives me and error
: mount point /mnt/hda8 does not exist. I am using Slackware 10.1, I dont know what im doing wrong, any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Did you create this mount point (directory)? If not, you need to do so (as root):

mkdir /mnt/hda8

Then try the mount command again.

Edit: Spelling

Thanks that worked, but how did it know to make the directory on hda8 then on some other partition? Was it because that was my only partition w/o a directory? Thanks

the partitioning scheme for drive's is constant, but the folder that you mount them too can be named anything you want.

you could have:

mkdir /mnt/mp3s
mount /dev/hda8 /mnt/mp3s

The mount point (/mnt/hda8 in your case or /mnt/mp3s in my case) can be named anything.

ic thanks for the clarification
