A drive installed in the same host can be
mounted at any mountpoint in the filesystem, and then accessed according to the mount permissions.
Code:
mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/hdb1 /mnt/doswin
Substitute the appropriate drive (/dev/hdx, or /dev/sdx for SCSI or SATA) & partition (1,2,3..) for your system. The mountpoint is just any existing directory.
You can make the mounting occur automatically by editing
/etc/fstab with a line similar to
Code:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/doswin vfat defaults 0 0
If the drive is on a different network-attached host, the filesystem type will be either nfs or smbfs (or cifs, depending on your distro), and will need to be exported appropriately by the peer host.
man mount
--- rod.
