/dev/hda5 /mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native reiserfs auto,acl,user_xattr 1 2

If you have a directory called /mount then mount it is, if you have one called /mnt then that's what it is.

Normally you'd doI assume that's from your fstab? A bit of formatting to show the end of each section wouldn't go amiss.

/dev/hda7 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hda2 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap pri=42 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0

"/mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native" seems like quite a lot to swallow.

Just go for /mnt/hda5 or /mount/hda5 or /mnt/mp3s-drive or whatever the drive is for and make sure that the mount point exists on your hard drive.

Which one of these should I use /mnt/hda5 or /mount/hda5

If all your other drives are /mnt/hda#, than use /mnt.
If they're all /mount/hda#, use /mount to keep consistency,

If you have no other drives at mnt or mount, just pick whatever one you want (it's your choice). I could pick /mounted-drives/hard-disk1/partition2/files/ if I wanted to, but I wouldn't as it's too long.

Try
/dev/hda7 /
/dev/hda2 /windows/C
/dev/hda6 swap
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy
/dev/hda5 /mount/hda5
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

Or, to keep all drives consistent,
/dev/hda7 /
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
/dev/cdrecorder /mnt/hdc
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5
/dev/cdrom /mnt/hdd

Or go for a more descriptive scheme
/dev/hda7 /
/dev/hda2 /mnt/windows
/dev/cdrecorder /mnt/cdrw
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
/dev/hda5 /mnt/backupdrive
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

you can use any mount point you want. it doesn't matter.
that's the point of being able to supply a mount point.

Which one do you recomend

Assuming that you are using SuSE, if you have hard drive partitions that aren't assign a standard mount point, during installation, the installer will create mount points /data1, /data2, etc. for them. So you might want to have this partition mount in the root directory.

Mandrake mounts extra partitions like CDROMs and the floppy disk under the /mnt directory, while SuSE uses /media instead. The /media partition is an LFS standard location for mounting media devices such as DVDs, CDROMs, and floppy disks.

Some partitions don't create any mount points under /mnt. For them, the /mnt directory is used as a standard location to temporarily mount a device from the console. For example if you wanted to mount an .iso file somewhere to look at it, or if you are mounting a different file sytem before using the chroot command.

But answering your question directly,
/mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native in way too long. Consider using either something like /data5 or if you want to keep the root directory uncluttered /mnt/data5. The last part was an arbitrary name that I just made up and you would probably want a more functional name.
