AutoMount second drive - enigma - 2004-04-10
Ok I formatted my second HD to ext3, now I have a few questions. When I goto locate the drive it tells me there is no viewer able to view it, now i know if i were to login root i prolly could but i would like to be able to view it with the normal user account, also i want to make the drive read and write, and the last thing is I would like some help on auto mounting the hard drive i know its somthing to do with vi /etc/fstab but not quite sure on how to edit it correctly... thnx guys

Add the following line to /etc/fstab:
LABEL=yournewdrivelabel /mountpoint ext3 defaults 1 2
use 'e2label' to give your ext3 partition a label.
create the /mountpoint dir and chmod it so your user account has access, that way you can add/remove/view files as a user.
