mounting problems in Libranet 2.8.1
Hello I just upgraded from Libranet 2.7 to 2.8.1 and I can't seem to mount my extra drive.. I was able to mount it before in 2.7 but now I can't.
I did ... mount -t vfat /dev/hdb3 /mnt/extra and it said that the drive is not vfat... How come? I know that my drive is FAT32.. I also tried adding it to fstab with vfat and then auto type but it doesn't seem to be mounted at all.. Anyone know what I can do to mount my drive? thanks |
You can use fdisk to show what partitions exist and how they are formatted.
Here is a sample session from my system: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ root@pikachu:~# fdisk /dev/hdb Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hdb: 6448 MB, 6448619520 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 784 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 784 6297448+ b Win95 FAT32 Command (m for help): q root@pikachu:~# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Based on the above output and your example, you would mount the partition using the command: mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /mnt/extra |
hey thanks! It turned out that I didn't have an hdb3 after all, the drive I wanted to mount was hdb6 :p
