i currently use ubuntu and i have a seperate partition of my hard drive that currently is mounted as hda4. i would like to mount it as myth, just like this tutorial says, but i forgot to do this when i was installing the system. how can i fix this?

-create the mount-point - it is just a directory like the one called hda4 where it is currently mounted
-unmount it
-change your /etc/fstab to reflect what you changed
-mount it again

Here's the command translation. You can get a terminal open by going to Applications > Accessories > Terminal in Ubuntu or KMenu > System > Konsole in Kubuntu.

sudo umount /dev/hda4

Code:

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup
sudo nano /etc/fstab

Change the line that says

Code:

/dev/hda4 /media/hda4 blahblahblah

to say

Code:

/dev/hda4 /myth blahblahblah

Save (control-x), confirm (y), and exit (Enter)

sudo mount -a
