i broke my linux mounts


Recommended Posts

cany anyone give me or link me to a breif but acurate explanation of the fstab file please ? I tried mountign a second data drive on /data2 and after i rebooted it hasnt come back up (remote admin) I have a feeling that it is something wrong with the fstabs file ,so at 5 when i finished working im going to try and sort it at the momitor providing I can get into it.,

heres what my filesystem mounts shoule be

boot on /dev/hda1

root on /dev/hda2

swap space on /dev/hdb1

/data on /dev/hdc1

/data2 on /dev/hdd1

any advice / links welcome :)

Open up the terminal (for KDE it is Konsole) and type in the following while you are root:

emacs /etc/fstab

That will allow you to edit fstab.

Have you edited /etc/fstab before?

I haven't, but I have read up on it, just in case ;) It doesn't look too difficult, but there are some parameters that you may have to set up to make it work the way you want it to. (I got my info from doing man fstab)
