I have a hard drive that contains all my ogg files. I recently restarted one of my computers from scratch, but I have had issues automatically mounting my this ogg hard drive. I tried to mount it using fstab, but I have two questions.


1). fstab requires the type of hard drive (ie ext3). However, I don't remember what type I originally made it. How can I find out what type of hard drive I have?

2) besides the type, fstab has an entry called defaults followed by two numbers. Either 0 0 or 1 2. How do I know what to choose for these

1) Can't you try auto for the filesystem? May work.(also you could use diskdruid - I think that's the Red Hat version. In Mandrake, there is a disk-partitioning tool. It allows you to see the partition, graphically, and automatically slots in an fstab entry for you. Red Hat may well have something similar)

2) These digits indicate the order in which the disks are mounted and checked, I believe. So, 0 0 should be fine, I think.

1) "fdisk -l"

2) for a normal linux drive, you'd want 1 1, other filesystems that you wouldn't want to check (e.g. fat32 or cdroms) you'd just have 0 0
