RE: [newbie] error mounting drives (already mounted)
Sorry to repost. But I thought maybe I should clarify my question. How can I unmount _all_ filesystems? Also, how can I make sure they are all unmount when I start my system? : ) Thanks. -Paul R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Paul Rodrguez Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 8:55 PM To: Newbie@Linux-Mandrake.

And why would this have happened in the first place? When I restart, both hda8 and hda9 are already mounted already (again). Any clues? -Paul _ Do You Yahoo!?
