Hello,
Last night I formatted my PC and installed Ubuntu 5.04, my main drive is 80Gb, however I also have a second 120Gb drive (both IDE).
I moved everything off my 120Gb drive, and wiped it, creating one ext3 partition (/dev/hdb1), I created /media/storage, then added the following to /etc/fstab

CODE
/dev/hdb1 /media/storage ext3 defaults 0 0


but, when I boot, it says there is an error on line 05, then when I go into Gnome, the drive isn't mounted

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Ben

1) Make sure line 05 is the line you posted
2) make sure you made teh path /media/storage

ext3 is your partition format for it, for me i use ntfs and umask=0222, this probably isnt helping so ill just go away now, pm if it does help though.

also you need to run mount /media/storage

Try this...

CODE
/dev/hdb1       /media/storage      ext3    rw,users,auto,exec,sync,umask=000  0 0


He wants it to auto mount, so he shouldn't have to run mount.

Got it sorted smile.gif

I rebooted and it worked, either my PC or I were having a moment confused.gif
