Re: [LI] mounting partitions

[Rajesh Fowkar <rfowkar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Adityan,

Put the following lines in /etc/fstab file (one line for each mount):

/dev/hdxx	     /directory	          vfat    defaults       0 0
where xx is the hdd partition   
         /directory is the directory where you want to mount the partition.
         Note: You will have to first create the above directory using mkdir
	      before moutnting the partition.
         vfat       tells you the type of File System. 
		(VFAT is for FAT file system)

ex.:
putting
/dev/hda1              /windows                vfat    defaults     0 0 
will mount my first partition on my first HDD in /windows directory.

Hope this helps

Rajesh
