Open your /etc/fstab file. Here is an example of how I have my FAT32 partition mount automagically at boot: /dev/hda2 /mnt/phat vfat auto,user,rw 0 0 Notice that /dev/hda2 is the drive label of my partition and /mnt/phat is where I created the mount point. > > 2) What is the current ability of Linux (Red Hat 8.0, in my case) to > mount and safely read/write an NTFS partition? I think this was answered in a previous posting but please realize that safely writing to an NTFS partition at this time is not safe. In other words, only read from an NTFS partition because trying to write to it from Linux will most likely corrupt the filesystem. -- Glen Wagley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
