Re: mounting disks



my new fstab now looks like this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda6       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/sda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hda        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/sda7       /mnt            fat32   defaults
/dev/sda2       /mnt            ntfs    defaults

before i try a reboot should anything change?
            Thanks Cavan

There might be an error in your fstab. Just check, if ntfs-modules are in the
kernel and the type is ntfs in fstab.

Means:

Device           mountpoint    filesystem   directive


/dev/sde1       /media/card    ntfs    users,auto        0       0
/dev/sda2       /mnt       vfat    users,auto        0       0


In the 4th field is decided, how to behave with the device. Should be auto or
default. Just take a look into the man pages.

Good luck !

Hans
