HI all, Just went to add a second HDD to one of my servers (FC3) and was surprised to find it already had a second one! Nice surprise I guess. However I am getting myself confused as to whether it is in use or not, so just want to confirm before I do something disastrous.This is a second physical HDD installed as a slave on IDE1, there is no entry for /dev/hdbx in the /etc/fstab, but fdisk confirms that it is there and partitioned. I have tried to mount it using: /dev/hdb1 /mnt/tmp ext3 defaults 1 1 In /etc/fstab, but get the following error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1, or too many mounted file systems
Remove the line from fstab. Mak sure it's unmounted umount /dev/hdb1 then try mounting with auto filesystem mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/tmp What happens? It should try and auto-detect the file system Fil -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
