 Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2004 8:13 pm Post subject: Mounting Windows particians (SOLVED!) |
 |
|
| Quote: | How in the world do you get windows particians to mount? I've read and tried everything I can find so far but nothings worked.
Edit: Forgot to add what I've done.
I have support enabled in my kernel for
<*>Dos Fat fs Support
<*>MSDOS fs Support
<*>VFAT fs Support
<*>NTFS fs Support.
My /etc/fstab looks like.
/dev/hda1 /mnt/c ntfs defaults,uid=000,ro 0 0
There more of then using vfat but the are identical to the one I listed minus the ro. Everytime I boot it says mount does not exist. What in the world?
Also, I have a DVD rom and CDrom on the comp. I have them listed in the fstab to use supermount.
/dev/hdc /mnt/dvd supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/hdc,user 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/hdd,user 0 0
The CDrom works but the DVD fails to mount. It also says the it doesn't exist. |
Got it. CDrom, DVD and windows particians all working. One problem down 2 to go but I think I know how to fix them now.

Well you need support for the appropriate filesystems in your kernel or as a kernel module...do you have that? You need to provide more information about your specific situation in order to get help.  |

I don't use ntfs so I'm not sure about that, hopefully someone else will help you on that.
As for cdrom & dvd, I assume you are using devfs? If so maybe the dvd fails to mount because there is no hdd in your /dev(?) I think the convention with devfs is to use the /dev/cdroms dir for cdroms and you could also use that directory for your dvd, ie make a link pointing to your dvd as well as your cdrom in /dev/cdroms. then in fstab point to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, /dev/cdroms/cdrom1, etc. Have you read the devfs guide? It may help you out. Here's part of my fstab and a couple /dev entries:
| Code: |
none /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/fd0,--,user,rw 0 0
|
| Code: |
[0]-=-{whop}> ll /dev/cdroms
total 0
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Dec 31 1969 cdrom0 -> ../ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
[0]-=-{whop}> ll /dev/hdc
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 30 Jun 17 12:43 /dev/hdc -> ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
[0]-=-{whop}> ll /dev/hdd
ls: /dev/hdd: No such file or directory
[0]-=-{whop}>
|
If I remember right /dev/hdc, /dev/hdd would be there for compatibility w/ the old device tree whereas /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 link (for example) is the accepted way of doing things with devfs. See how /dev/hdc and /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 point to the same target? (see devfs guide)

Yes, I think you just forgot to make the folders to mount the partitions in
