Seeing extra hard drives
 

I have 2 extra hard drives on my system, both of them have both FAT and Linux partions on them with data. What do I have to do to get Suse10.0 to see and let me look at the files on the other hard drives?:confused:

first make your mount points. ie 'mkdir /mnt/disk2-Fat', 'mkdir /mnt/disk1-Linux', etc, whatever you want to call them.

then find out what device file each partition is using. you can use 'fdisk -l' to see all the partitions/disks recognized on your system. '/dev/hda1' is your primary master IDE hard drive, partition #1. '/dev/hda2' is your primary master IDE hard drive, partition #2, and so on. '/dev/hdb1' is your primary slave IDE hard drive, partition #1, etc..

you then use this device file and mount the file system to your mount point. ie 'mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/Disk2-FAT -t vfat -o rw' will mount /dev/hda2 to the folder /mnt/Disk2-FAT as a FAT partition, allowing read-write access. see 'man mount' for lots of more information and options.
