Problems mounting second hardisk, partition
I've had this problem since I started fooling around with linux about four months ago and never fixed. Since then I've added gnu c/c++, fvwm and network card (thanks to the debian users group). Samba is hopefully on the way, but back to this nagging problem I have. I can't seem to mount hdb2... I don't know why, but the following is the information on my second hard drive: hdb1 primary linux swap 150.4 hdb2 bootprimary linux175.47 I tried to use the following command to mount it: mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb2 disk2 The Hdb2 partition is set as linux extended and I tried to change that...cfdisk won't let me do it!! Anybody know the answer...ANYBODY? :)

Re: Problems mounting second hardisk, partition
Initialize? Nope. Never thought of that! I guess my boot partition (/dev/hda1)was automatically initialized when I loaded linux. And yes the disk2 mount point exists. I will try that! thank you! - Original Message - From: Martin Fluch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Wendell Buckner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Debian Users Group debian-user@lists.debian.org; recipient list not shown: ; Sent: Sunday, October 31, 1999 5:57 AM Subject: Re: Problems mounting second hardisk, partition On Sun, 31 Oct 1999, Wendell Buckner wrote: I've had this problem since I started fooling around with linux about four months ago and never fixed.

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. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Sun, 31 Oct 1999, Wendell Buckner wrote: I've had this problem since I started fooling around with linux about four months ago and never fixed.
