Subject: [newbie] Knowing partition and mounting NTFS
Hello all,
I am wondering if someone can tell me how to know what partition certain
operating systems are on? For instance.....I want to mount a NTFS from
within linux (I know how to do that for vfat so I assume I do the same
except the file system type is ntfs instead of vfat)
Someone said this line would work
'mount -t ntfs /dev/hda2/ /mnt/ntfs'
Or I could adapt that line into the fstab file.
Anyway, my question is, how did they know that the the ntfs system is on
/dev/hda2?
Is there a utility that can tell me this info?
Thanks,
Kevin
Kevin, in a terminal just type "df" and it will bring up a table of all of the partitions seen on the drive. HTH
