I formatted the drive on my Debian system using Partition Editor and it showed only a 1.82TB size partition. Deleting the partition did not show an increase or that seemingly extra drive which does not physically exist. As the USER I believe I can edit the 'fstab' so I'll delete that line and see what happens. If the USER can't do it then I'll do it as ROOT.

I then rebooted and here is my 'mtab' without doing a physical 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' (something I do not have to do with the Kingston USB drive). Also, 'fstab' shows a mount point of '/' the same as my hda1. Does that make any difference? Still haven't found out how to make a volume label without reformatting and re-partitioning.

Out of interest (I am no expert, so use with all possible health warnings) try mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt in your fstab, ratherthan on /. If that works, you can create a mount point for /dev/sda1 and use that in your fstab, freeing /mnt for more general use. One usually has to edit /etc/fstab as root. The fact that the filesystem is ntfs may have a bearing. I know nothing about ntfs since I have never used it.

Iomega 2TB USB drive
Hi All I am still trying to get this USB drive to show up as an icon on the desktop and to show up under the toolbar 'Places' like my 8GB USB memory stick and my /new-disk hdb (115GB internal drive). I am using Debian Lenny with Gnome as a desktop. Here is my 'mount' display /dev/sda1 on / type ntfs (rw,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) /dev/hdb on /new-disk type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) /dev/sdb1 on /media/KINGSTON type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=1000) After I type 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt here is my mount display /dev/sda1 on / type ntfs (rw,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) /dev/hdb on /new-disk type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) /dev/sdb1 on /media/KINGSTON type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=1000) /dev/sda1 on /mnt type ntfs (rw) So if I read this right the device is mounted. Here is my 'fstab' # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass proc/proc procdefaults0 0 /dev/hda1 / ext3errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda5 noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/hdc/media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdd/media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0/media/floppy0 autorw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb/new-diskext3defaults,errors=remount-ro01 /dev/sda1/ntfsdefaults,errors=remount-ro01 And here is my 'mtab' /dev/sda1 / ntfs rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,mode=0755 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 procbususb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,mode=0755 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw 0 0 /dev/hdb /new-disk ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /media/KINGSTON vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=1000 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt ntfs rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 is present in both. I noticed that I don't have a 'label' for sda1. How do I 'label' it without reformatting the drive? I don't know if this has anything to do with displaying the icon but it doesn't hurt to ask those who are more proficient in things like this. Secondly when I tried to follow the advice give to me by previous respondents I 'lost' Kingston USB stick display. The only way I can get it to show up is to select an earlier boot option. How do I 'delete' the first boot option or at least move the last option to the top of the list. Thirdly -- is there somewhere or somehow of capturing the messages that flash across the screen when booting up -- I see something that tells me that USB port 1 cant be enumerated and several other messages that may have something to do with my problem. I do not believe it is a hardware problem because booting a live distro on this computer such as Ubuntu shows the USB drive and it is accessible. Last thing -- what would I use to change the permissions on the sda1? My /dev/sdb1 (Kingston) shows 'user' as owner and group as root -- is 'permissions' a possible cause of my problem? Also looking at /mnt shows 'root' can access files only, group is root without access and others have no access. chmod 700 /mnt says 'read only file system' ls -ld /mnt shows dr-x-- 1 root root 4096 2010-09-17 08:53 /mnt Sorry is this is overly long but I would really like to resolve this problem so I can use this drive as storage.

Which options depends on whether you are using GRUB legacy or GRUB2. is 'permissions' a possible cause of my problem? Conceivably.

The order goes user, group, world If root is the owner, then non-root can't read, write, or execute from that directory. In fact, just doing an ls inside a directory requires execute privileges on that directory. 700 for owner root is probably not what you want. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
