John This was a major embarrassment with 9.0 and 9.1. By default k3b edited fstab, only there was in fact a way to avoid that : somewhere in the setup process one could untick a checkbox, not allowing it to do so. It almost drove me crazy until Derek pointed me in the right direction. Until then I used XCDroast, which has a horrible user interface. Funny thing is, from 9.2 and now 10.x this bad behaviour seems to be history. Now k3b installs cleanly and functions well (at least on my old clunker here). Actually the were some people here, including myself, suggesting that any programmer who made alterations to fstab should be taken out and shot. On the other hand, if you aren't as lazy as I am, why not use the Tom Brinkman method : the command line ?

If you take a look at the example fstab, you'll notice that the 5th column is zero in most cases.

My best suggestion is to 'man fstab', and see what it tells you. I'm not sure if there is anything special about mounting ntfs partitions, but I suspect there might be, because of the permissions used in ntfs which are similar to ext2 in linux.

Thanks. fstab lists predefined filesystems which can be mounted on your system, mstab basically contains the same information but only for filesystems that are currently mounted on your system. If a filesystem is listed in fstab, you can execute mount with only the mount point (or is it only the device, or can it be either), and the filesystem will be mounted with the parameters specified in fstab. The boot process also uses fstab for the same purpose (AFAIK). Hope this helps, Randy Kramer
Re: [newbie] fstab vs mtab
hi. i know the answer to this one=) fstab is the file which tells linux which partitions to mount, where to mount them, and how to mount them during boot. this is where you make changes to the mounting procedure. mtab is what actually is mounted, how where it is mounted. *DO NOT* edit this file. you can look at it, do not edit. i have never tried editing it, but i understand it is a bad bad thing. hope that clears the mud for ya.

Re: [newbie] fstab mtab left overs...
the odd thing is, the win_c win_d are still in /mnt also. if i go into them, they are empty. what up with this?? can i simply delete these as root? or is there some other solution? Yes, and this demonstrates a problem with configuration via GUI tools; you are one step removed from knowing what has occurred. When you set up "windoze" as a mount point, not only was fstab modified but a "mkdir /mnt/windoze" command was issued. You see, without an existing directory to serve as a mount point, the code within fstab will simply generate an error. so yes, you should be able to delete the win_c and win_d directories. second part of this i can read from my fat32 drives, but i can not write to some of them. As a user you probably don't have write permission. This is the default on such partitions as a protection. You can change that of course. i checked in fstab mtab. all my fat32 drives are mounted with the "rw" option, so this should put them in read-write mode, yes?? Huh? and how did you determine this. You wouldn't see "rw" anywhere. If fstab carries a umask=0,0,0 or something similar then it's unclear why you can't write to your DOS drive but your questions don't suggest that you understand the process sufficiently to have interpreted that syntax if it were there. Sorry if my conclusions are incorrect. Cheers --- Larry

RE: [newbie] fstab
1st, create a directory to mount to - I use /mnt/dos1. Then create and entry like : /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos1 default msdos default 0 0 Then when rebooting the partition at hda1 will be mounted and available at /mnt/dos1. You could also test it by entering "mount /dev/hda1" (or whatever the device is). It should map it using the info from fstab. If running fat32 you may need to use vfat as a type instead of msdos. A SCSI drive would be prefixed as SD, i.e. /dev/sda1. Note: The third letter of a device is the drive location, the number is the partition number.

Re: Re: [newbie] fstab
This is a snippet taken from the fstab man page. I believe it should answer your question: "The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) pro- gram to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be speci- fied with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not pre- sent or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked." ___ Sign up today for your Free E-mail at http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail
Re: Re: [newbie] fstab
Sorry! That last reply was only about the two numbers after "defaults". I'm not sure exactly what the defaults are but I know that you can specify how you want the device to be mounted. For example the line for my floppy drive is this: /dev/fd0/mnt/floppy auto sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide 0 0 Notice instead of "defaults" it says, "sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev, unhide". You can read the "mount" man page for information on what these mean. Hope this helps. ___ Sign up today for your Free E-mail at http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail

Thanks. /dev/hda8 /mnt/data vfat exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1 The line above mounts a partition on my first drive. I have Windows NT/98 on hda and Mandrake on hdb. Gator

Bert, These work for me: /dev/hda2 /mnt/dosc vfat rw,gid=100,umask=2 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/dosd vfat rw,gid=100,umask=2 0 0 /dev/hdb5 /mnt/dosf vfat rw,gid=100,umask=2 0 0 where hda is for the first hard drive and hdb is for the second. RW is for read/write, gid=100 is for ability to use from the group ID of 100 of which I added my user id. To know for sure what the hdxx numbers are you can run fdisk and see them. /sbin/cfdisk /dev/hda or /sbin/cfdisk /dev/hdb etc. All of the above needs to be done as su or root. Then you should add with the mkdir command a folder for dosc, dosd, etc. Here's how: mkdir /mnt/dosc mkdir /mnt/dosd Brian
