Mounting mistake....
 

All,

I know I should probably should have looked this up myself but not at a linux machine (at work).

I recently installed Slackware 10.2 on a machine with 2 hard drives. Everything went fine but when I typed in the mounting point for one of the hard drives I typed in \files instead of simply files in the install (D'OH!).

To correct this, I just need to find the fstab file and correct in vi?

Is that correct?

Thanks in advance.

Adric.

The full path to fstab is /etc/fstab. You can correct fstab with any text editor. vi is fine. The mount point must be an empty directory so you also need to make sure that there is an empty directory called /files. If not then you can create /files with this command:

mkdir /files

yup that did it.
 

Thanks for confirming and the path to fstab.
I edited it last night and this worked like a champ.
