Mounting my Fat32 Partition?

31337 · 2003-12-27T01:58:15

I''m trying to code, and I can''t do it without listening to my rocking music collection How do I mount my FAT32 partition in redhat? I did it under FreeBSD by editing my fstab file (which seems to exist for redhat as well). Here''s what I''ve been trying: mount -t vfat /hda/hd0/ /ms/ mount -t msdos /hda/hd0/ /ms/ And here''s what they say: /hda/hd0 does not exist My FAT32 partition is my primary one, how do I find out what to reference it as? Everywhere I look people are using different ones, all of which don''t work for me. Also, what is the difference between vfat and msdos? I''ve read the man page and it seems to fail to differentiate between the two. Thanks

Edit your /etc/fstab file so that these partitions are automatically mounted. See man mount.

chances are that the partition is already mounted. check /etc/fstab and see if it is, and what directory it''s in

su
type_in_root_password

// trial and error
mount /dev/hda1 /ms
no?
mount /dev/hda2 /ms
no?
mount /dev/hda3 /ms

// output partition table
cfdisk
fdisk -l

// check if its already mounted
mount | grep -i vfat

good luck,
jason
