fifth drive on linux
I have
hda linux hdb win hdb cdrom hdd cdrw hd? my other hd iwht no os connected to my pci card (ata/100) cant figure out what to put in fstab to tell it that there is a fifth drive and this is where it is thanks in advance |
What distrabution? In Red Hat 7.2, I use two Hard drives, and two CD drives. Unlike what you have written, mine are labeled:
hda1 hdb2 cdrom cdrom1 I am confused as to why Linux would set your CD drives as hard drives? |
hdX is simplay a reference to an IDE drive, not necessarily a hard disk. bpestilence, if you do 'ls -l /dev/cdrom' it'll point to /dev/hdc or such like.
if your ide card is setup up normally, you will have hde/f and so forth. run 'fdisk -l' to show the conected hard drives and their partitions |
You might want to look at your /var/log/boot.msg - mine looks like this...
Code:
<6>Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 If your system can't see the drive it may the case that you need kernel support for the controller. If you could tell us which one you're using... |
still lost
