LVM issues
I am trying to set up a dual boot XP and FC4 machine. Both OSs are installed and working fine. I have a fat32 partition set up to be able to share files between OSs, but I can't mount it in FC4. I tried setting up a mount point and then adding it to /etc/fstab, but that doesn't seem to work. I don't quite know what to put in /etc/fstab due to my lack of experience with LVM and its naming conventions.
here is my /etc/fstab: # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 here is the output of fdisk -l: Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 2 16033+ ce Unknown /dev/hda2 1487 4864 27133785 17 Hidden HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda3 1232 1486 2048287+ 1c Hidden W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda4 3 1231 9871942+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 3 15 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda6 16 1231 9767488+ 8e Linux LVM * hda1 is a Dell utility partition. * hda2 is XP. * hda3 is the fat32 shares partition. * the rest is the LVM info. thanks in advance. |
never mind, I figured it out. If anyone else is interested, I used the following as a guide:
http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/14/1.php and added the following line to /etc/fstab: /dev/hda3 /transfer vfat users,owner,ro,umask=000 0 0 where '/transfer' is the mount point I chose to use. |
