Hi. A couple of questions first, then the (hopefully) necessary data to
answer them.
1) How does one mount a FAT32 partition? I would like to know how to
do this on a session-only basis (i.e., a mount command for the single
session) as well as permanently, so that it is already mounted when the
system loads.
2) What is the current ability of Linux (Red Hat 8.0, in my case) to
mount and safely read/write an NTFS partition?
The data:
I have 2 physical drives. The Hardware Browser is describes the drives
as follows: (please forgive the clumsy ASCII representation of the very
nice GNOME window)
Device Start End Size Type
===========================================================
+/dev/hda
hda1 1 3824 29996 ntfs
+hda2 3825 14588 84435 Extended
+hda5 3825 11473 60001 ntfs
+hda6 11474 11486 102 ext3
+hda7 11487 14425 23054 ext3
hda8 14426 14588 1279 linux-swap
14589 14589 8 Free space
+/dev/hdc
hdc1 1 574 4503 FAT
+hdc2 575 3737 24811 Extended
+hdc5 575 1148 4503 FAT
hdc6 1149 3737 20309 FAT
My immediate goal is to permanently mount the 20 GB drive on the second
physical drive. I would like to be able to temporarily mount any drive,
on an as-needed basis. Help is much appreciated. Thanks--
Andrew
