RH9 Mount Problem
Ok... i have successfully mounted partitions in RH9 before on my desktop. I have now installed RH9 on my laptop, so its dual-boot with XP (FAT32).
I just can't seem to mount my XP partition.. Here is what I did in konsole... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@localhost root]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 742 4864 33117997+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 1 548 4401778+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 549 676 1028160 83 Linux /dev/hda4 677 741 522112+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 677 740 514048+ 82 Linux swap Partition table entries are not in disk order [root@localhost root]# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/xp mount: mount point /mnt/xp does not exist ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is how my FSTAB looks... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/xp vfat auto,ro,umask=0222 0 0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have tried a number of combinations for the last part of my /dev/hda1 entry that include: auto,user,umask=0000 One thing I have noticed is that in the fdisk -i command... there is an asterix in the hda1 partition, I'm sure its nothing but u never know! Also... the FAT32 partition appears to have LBA mapping, this normal? Maybe... I'm just not meant to access anything MS anymore! |
[root@localhost root]# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/xp
mount: mount point /mnt/xp does not exist this would tell me that you need to create directory /mnt/xp mkdir /mnt/xp mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/xp |
Legend, absolute legend.
God knows how i forgot to do that, cheers dude. |
as for the fstab, i'm not an expert, but something like this should probably work:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/xp vfat defaults 0 0 the asterisk you see is in the fdisk list is in the boot column so i think it just means that the partition is bootable or something... |
My FSTAB was fine as it was, I just forgot to make the directory, lol.
Cheers anyway. |
