1. You don't mount the drive, you mount the partition. You need /dev/sda1, etc 2. I assume the top level mount point /fedora exists on your system. That's a little unusual. It's usually something like /mnt/fedora, but it's your system. 3. Use noauto instead of defaults and do the mounts manually until you have the problem solved. > One more complication: On bootup, the system complains that I've > exceeded the limit of number of mounts.
