scarecrow Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Likely an fstab syntax error... Please copypaste your /etc/fstab file here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Also, tell us in detail what command you launched when mounting the drive (mount command with all the options you used) Also check if your harddrive is really hdd and not something else.

scarecrow Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) It seems that /dev/hda2 is an extended partition, with just one logical volume in it: /dev/hda5. The extended partition shouldn't contain any unpartitioned space, else it wouldn't be mountable. You cannot mount both /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda5 at the same time, of course! The only other logical scenario is that you also have another dev/hda4 partition which you cannot/ don't wish to mount via fstab.

arctic Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 hdd is your CD ROM. ;) so this: /dev/hda2 /hdd1 ext3 rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /hdd2 ext2 rw,user,noauto 0 0 will never work unless you know a trick how to mount your harddisk(hda) onto your cd-rom(hdd). I don't know one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I fail to see why they shouldn't work! /hdd1 and /hdd2 aren't devices, just mount points, so they will surely work if already created. What will not work is mounting both the extended /dev/hda2 partition and the logical /dev/hda5 one in it at the same time (as they both point to his root partition, which can be mounted only once). Agreed that naming mount points like /hdd1 and /hdd2 is a bit weird, but certainly not forbidden!

scarecrow Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 ok scarecrow. I trying kow you say. wating for feedback :P thanks :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guess some input is needed by you, on the actual partition structure of hda. My guess is that /dev/hda2 is an extended partition, which has only one logical volume inside ( /dev/hda5 ), happening to be your root partition. If this is so, then you simply cannot mount both hda2 and hda5- just one of them (preferrably the latter). But since there's another option ( hda1 and hda4 existing but not being mounted by fstab on purpose ) it would be nice to know how exactly /dev/hda is partitioned. There's nothing wrong using mountpoints like /hdd1 and /hdd2, it's just a wee bit confusing (actually Arctic seems that has been confused about it).

arctic Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Now I am really puzzled. If /dev/hdd is the CD-Rom, how can he mount a hdd1 partition, if the CD-Rom doesn't have several partitions on it? hdd1 and hdd2 will always tell the system that those are on the CD-Rom, if /dev/hdd is by default recognized as the CD device and not as an additional harddisk or ramdrive. And it ain't logical at all, mounting a CD-Rom partition on a harddisk. Or am I missing something here? :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) Or am I missing something here? :huh: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well... not much. Just that a mount point named /hdd* has nothing at all to do with a /dev/hd* device! The above hdd1 thing is NOT a partition, it is just the mount point our friend uses!

It may be that the "/" in front of the hdd1 and hdd2 names are causing confusion to the fstab load process. Try removing the "/" from each name in the table.

Try removing the "/" from each name in the table. No, this certainly not the case. fstab enties are just too dumb to confuse /dev/hdd* with (existing) /hdd* moynt points. BUT: the /hdd mout points must already exist, and the mount command should not try to mount there already mounted partitions! (as I do believe is the case in this already long topic...).
