There are two partitions in my OS/2 installation that I wish to have available to Linux as well; they are formatted with JFS (OS/2 implementation, of course). I had no difficulty in doing this in openSuSE v10.2, but I am having a knotty problem with it now, in v10.3.
In fstab, each of these partitions is mounted to its own subdirectory of /mnt. When I use a terminal in either subdirectory (whether as root or user) to get a directory of either partition, the answer is that the partition is empty. This was a nasty surprise, especially becauser the lines in fstab look all right to me. To try to get a handle on what is happening, I entered My Computer, and saw that the two partitions do appear in the right hand column, complete with correct sizes. Clicking on either one of them brought up a window populated with all the folders, and these are filled with all the files that should be there. Most of the folders are shown with padlocks, of course; a few are not, and I don't understand this either. Obviously, I can't do anything with the great majority of the folders and files. But I could, if only I could do some chmod commands in the terminal. But I can't use the terminal, because it sees nothing. Catch-22. I would be grateful for some insight into this, so I can access the files. Again, I had nothing of the sort in v10.2. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel "Clothes make the man.
