Mounted Hard Drives?

[eggnog]

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:

 

Code:

su -

 

Once you have issued that enter your root password then type:

 

Code:

cd /media

 

The what you want to do is mount the drive:

 

Code:

mount drivename

 

then you can change into your drvie:

 

Code:

cd drivename

 

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:

 

Code:

mount -a

 

Which means mount all and the you should be able to navigate to /windows/C where all you windows files will be.
