cant mount partition sda3
Im not able to mount sda3.
just so you know, i installed xubunto and this long i know linux.... i created all three partitions as primary, when it came to sda3 (supposed to be for movies and music) i didnt know what mountpoint to select (dont know anything about mountpoints).. but i choosed opt/ as mountpoint, bcause i didnt know what to do... as far as i remember i formated it as FA32 (i know not good) i found a file named opt/ which has the size of ma partition but i cant write on it, something else: is it a bad idea to create all three partitions as primary? how can i make xubuntu make use of the SWAP? sudo fdisk -l Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes |
Why would you mount something to /opt? That is for programs, configurations, etc... Whenever you mount something, you need to create a new directory as a mount path. /media and /mnt are there for a reason, to keep your mount points within them. Create a new directory in /mnt and mount /dev/sda3 to it, and you will be good.

You will probably want to put /dev/sda3 in your fstab.
Here's one of the clearest explanations of /etc/fstab that I've found: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html |

my fstab looks like this now. Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. should i edit the read/write permissions or is something else wrong? thanks alot people! |

sorry im a little overused with all that configuring...
can you give me a hint how to grant users permission? i have only one user who uses sudo if necessary. |
Since sda3 is mounted at /mnt/Data, you can find out what the actual permissions are by typing this command in a terminal:
sudo ls -l /mnt/Data/ This will show permissions for user/group as well as who owns the file and the group which has access. If you don't understand it, post the output. The command to change permissions is: chmod You can post back the output of the ls command or read: man chmod or google chmod or changing permissions in linux to get more information. |
