cannot mount hard drive
|
|
|
| I am trying to mount a second hard drive on Redhat. The drive is on that
has Suse system and data on it. I can see the drive hdb and the three
particians it is devided into. How can I mount it.
This is what I see when I look at it in my hardware browser:
/dev/hdb
hdb1 38241 NTFS
hdb2 1004 linux-swap
hdb3 37064 reiserfs
I asked a friend, who uses Redhat, how to do this. He told me I had to make
a place to mount the drive. I don't know how to do this. Suse had a
utility that would allow this. I don't see it in the Redhat directory. I
have read Sams Teach Yourself Red Hat Linux, but I have a hard time
understanding a lot of it.
please help to lift the fog in my brain!

mkdir /mnt/suse # create mount point
mount -t auto /dev/hdb3 /mnt/suse # mount hardware on mount point
ls /mnt/suse # to test
For extra points:
man mount
man umount
man mkdir
man fstab

hi,
i just went through that and used:
kernel-ntfs-2.4.20-31.9.i386.rpm
to mount the ntfs, no fancy loop back. but it is read only.
if you have synaptic or yum, search for ntfs, else rpmfind.
Note: make sure you match the kernel version.
after you get it just do the do:
mount /dev/hdba1 /mnt/SomeDir
then (assuming it works)
cat mtab |grep ntfs >> /etc/fstab
then add an extra <returne> at the end of /etc/fstab, for luck! |
