Mounting Drives
HI
Can anyone tell me how can I mount the windows drives in my RH9 and how can I mount my kingston flash drive? I know it has something to do with fstab but I can't do it properly, although I hav tried :( |
If your windows drive is on hda2 (It may be something different in your case) then you should type
Code:
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/windows Code:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flashdrive Fstab is for mounting things at boot. |
I have another question as well how come on suse non-root accounts cannot write stuff into the drive(drive is fat32 not ntfs). Is there a way around this?. I try to give other users 755 permission but it just gets rejected by the system.

In order to allow non-root users to write to the flash drive, the individial user must mount the media, not root. In order to do this, you must make an entry into /etc/fstab that specifies "users" as one of the mount options. So, for instance...
/dev/sda1 /mnt/kingston vfat default,users 0 0 Then to mount the drive, as the user (not root)... mount /mnt/kingston |
