Re: Problems mounting second hardisk, partition
use the absolute path when mounting.
i.e. mount /dev/device /mountpoint
if you use mount /dev/device mountpoint and you are in say, /tmp and
mountpoint doesn't exist, it won't work. if mountpoint is in / and you
are in / when you issue the command it will.
