 Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2007 5:12 pm Post subject: Mounting ide hard drive |
 |
|
I have installed a second ide hard drive. I have formatted the drive and created a mount point using the Xandros Storage Manager. I can read and write to the drive. My question involves rebooting. When I reboot the computer, the second hard drive is not mounted automatically. I need to go back into Storage Manager and manually mount the drive. Why is the automount feature not doing this when the computer is rebooted? The drive works fine after manually mounting. No files are lost, they just can't be viewed in file manager until the drive is manually mounted.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks. |

You have to add the item to /etc/ftab then after you reboot check /etc/mtab
fstab is the information of filesystems on the computer
mtab is the currently mounted filesystems
When you look a /etc/fstab the entry for the 2nd drive will be/should be similar. Use the first drive as guide.
Once you have added it and can read it in Xandros then go to a console and
su
<type>
fdisk -l .....................that is a lower case L
The info will help you..
