Hi Dave,

Hi Callan,
May I ask the advantage of putting it in /mnt or /media over leaving it
in / (in root it doesn't show an icon)?
Is it 'better' in the sense of 'nix convention or is there another
advantage? I tend toward /home being better but only if I can overcome
the icon.
Many thanks,
David

Hi Karl,
There seems to be a disadvantage mounting it in /home/myname/3264common
- the drive icon shows on the desktop (annoying).
Mounting in /3264common does not show the drive icon but still mounts
OK.
Any thoughts why this should be so and how I can avoid just that one
drive icon showing when m
Hi Karl,
I follow your logic and, yes, it would make it easier to locate.
I also take your point that if the new partition is corrupted it is only
that folder and not /home per se.
Many thanks for the feedback, much appreciated, Karl and Matt.

I'd mount in it to $HOME/shared (or a similar name). Its a logical
place for person
Thanks Matt and Karl.
Karl -
Strange place to put it, but you can if you want.
Where would you put it and why? I would prefer not to have it in /home
as it is on a separate physical drive and wanted to make sure /home was
not corrupted by a drive error.
Thanks -- David

Hi,
I have created an ext3 partition on a separate windows drive that I want
to make common to both my 32bit and 64bit Hardy 8.04 installations so
some files remain 'up to date'. Such as my fax folders, Documents folder
etc.
Is this a reasonable way to do it without harming either installation?
