ok I thought the FC1 install I just did was recognizing the XFS partition i had from another distro's previous install. it did not.

now what?

I have added a folder in the root dir named video . and put this line in fstab
" LABEL=/video /video xfs defaults 1 2 "
minus the quotes.

and typed this in the terminal as su

" mount /video "

but this is what it said back

"mount: no such partition found"

i "KNOW" it was thre and formatted, what am I missing? before I have to shut the box down and render this install unbootable.

TIA

Are you sure the xfs partition has a label?
Try mounting the partition using the actual device ID instead of the label.

ok so if I mount it by device i have to go and change the fstab to

hdc1 /video xfs defaults 1 2

and then i type as su in the terminal...

mount dev/hdc1

?

mount: fs type xfs not supported by kernel

I followed the instructions as I interperted them in my previous post and thats ^ what I got

any advice?

## ok I feel dumb I was following someone directions and missed a step
the one called

"installing the custom kernal that supports xfs"

thanks for trying to help. right now sleep would probably help me best.
