External Harddrive Issues
I connected my external HD to my USB hub and upon restart Mandrake 10 picked it up and configured it...
however, when i go ino /mnt/removable/ (the new icon put on my desktop by Mandrake) there are no files However, i run windows and there is 100GB of stuff on there? whats the deal? Ryan M. Cullan |
/mnt/removables will have no files unless you mount the drive, specifying /mnt/removables as the mount point.
What it configured was the bus settings/device settings for it, probably by loaded modules. What device is the USB HD? (/dev/???) 'man mount' |
more stuff
okay...
its dev/sda1 I added a line for it into the fstab file, this line: /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable/ ext3 noauto,owner,rw 0 0 then i tried to mount the damn thing and got this.... [root@rcullan /]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable mount: permission denied what the hell is going on!!!!!!:mad: |
It should be vfat instead of ext3 for filesystem type.
I would of expected thaty MDK had added an entry to the fstab. |
