How do i mount a partition on a 2nd HD?
Hi,
I have had Simply Mepis installed for
several days now.
Can someone tell me how i can mount a ext3
partition that i have created on a second HD,
with read *and* write permissions?
Here is the original fstab. The partition
in question is hdb7.
# Static entries below, do not use 'users' option in this area
/dev/hda8 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda6 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 1 2
# Dynamic entries below, identified by 'users' option
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/hdb5 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hdb6 /mnt/hdb6 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hdb7 /mnt/hdb7 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,dev,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,users,dev,ro 0 0
/dev/floppy /mnt/floppy vfat,ext2,hfsplus noauto,users,dev 0 0
Here is my *guess* at how to mount it with read/write permission.
# Static entries below, do not use 'users' option in this area
/dev/hda8 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda6 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/hdb7 /mnt/hdb7 ext3 defaults,noatime 1 3
# Dynamic entries below, identified by 'users' option
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/hdb5 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hdb6 /mnt/hdb6 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,dev,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,users,dev,ro 0 0
/dev/floppy /mnt/floppy vfat,ext2,hfsplus noauto,users,dev 0 0
With the fstab amended this way, when i try to save a
text file from within the text editor, called
Query_01 to hdb7, i get the error:
"The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to file:/mnt/hdb7/Query_01.
Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available."
what is it i have to do so that i am able to
read/write to hdb7?
All help welcome.
