| 518601 | 2007-01-23 18:53:00 | Suse and Xandros on Hdd b & c with Mbr on hda.Hdda is 40GB formatted as extn 3.How do I mount hda1 so Suse can read and write to it. | kjaada (253) | ||
| 518602 | 2007-01-23 20:15:00 | Get a root console then run: mkdir /mnt/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 Then you wanna add a line to your fstab: nano -w /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 auto defaults 0 1 This tells it: The source /dev entry Where to mount it on boot What FS it is (auto is usually fine, but you can specify ext3 if you want) defaults tells it to use the default mount options, like mount at boot 0 1 basically tells it when to do a filesystem check (I think..) Hope this helps Cheers Chill. |

| 518603 | 2007-01-24 04:12:00 | 0 1 basically tells it when to do a filesystem check (I think..)All you need to know about dump and fsck! < 5th and 6th columns: Dump and fsck options > (www.tuxfiles.org) Dump and, uh, what options? Well, dump is a backup utility and fsck is a filesystem check utility. I won't discuss them in great length here (they would both need their own tuXfile), but I'll mention them, because otherwise you'd spend the rest of the day wondering what on God's green Earth do these things mean. The 5th column in /etc/fstab is the dump option. Dump checks it and uses the number to decide if a filesystem should be backed up. If it's zero, dump will ignore that filesystem. If you take a look at the example fstab, you'll notice that the 5th column is zero in most cases. The 6th column is a fsck option. fsck looks at the number in the 6th column to determine in which order the filesystems should be checked. If it's zero, fsck won't check the filesystem. A 0 1 means no dumping but it will be fsck first :p. I have my ext3 storage and /home partitions on fsck 2 so that the root system partition gets checked first. |

| 518604 | 2007-01-24 04:23:00 | Thanks again to both of you.All is now sweet.I like to try these other OS's when they come on a disk but there is no way anything has come near Xandros so far. | kjaada (253) | ||
