I have SUSE 10.1 and after i intalled it i plugged in a new sata hard drive
now when i go to system:/media i can see the new drive, only it does not have a green arrow next to it like the others do
when i mouse over it it says it's an unmounted hard drive
yet when i try to mount it i get the error Permissing Denied
how can i mount the new hard drive so i can see it in SUSE?
thanks
Hi,
What you will need to do is become root and change into the media directory. To do this follow these steps:
Once you have issued that enter your root password then type:
The what you want to do is mount the drive:
then you can change into your drvie:
To make it so the users can access the mount point you will need to edit your /etc/fstab file and set a umask along with
auto mount. Would it be possible for you to paste your /etc/fstab file
i don't know what i should use as the device name? how do i find that out?
here's my fstab
Code:
/dev/sda6 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/sda7 /home reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/sda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
thanks

sda1 is your windows parition. Notice on the /windows/C line I added auto this will auto mount this partition for you when you
reboot and will always be mounted at boot. anyways as root if you have'nt rebooted you can type:
Which means mount all and the you should be able to navigate to /windows/C where all you windows files will be.
