mounting multiple vfat partitions

[Corwin]

I have installed dapper on my system and it is working fine. The only problem I am having is trying to mount multiple vfat partitions. I have 3 that I would like to have access to but I can only get 1 to mount. I pretty sure that I am doing something wrong. I keep getting the message

warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab

I have added these lines to fstab

/dev/hdb5    /media/windows vfat  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0    0
/dev/hdb6    /media/windows vfat  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0    0
/dev/hdb7    /media/windows vfat  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0    0

Is it possible to mount all 3 or can I only get access to 1? What do  need to add?

Thnaks,
Corwin

Re: mounting multiple vfat partitions

You cannot mount them all to the same directory at the same time (/media/windows)...you need to create different directories like /media/windows1, windows2, windows3 or something similar and change your fstab accordingly.

Add an empty line to the bottom of your /etc/fstab to get rid of this warning

Here is part of my fstab:

/dev/hda6 /media/fat/e vfat umask=000,uid=0,gid=0,auto,rw,nouser 0 0
/dev/hda7 /media/fat/f vfat umask=000,uid=0,gid=0,auto,rw,nouser 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /media/fat/g vfat umask=000,uid=0,gid=0,auto,rw,nouser 0 0

Re: mounting multiple vfat partitions

Many thanks for the quick responce.
Already had windows so made windows2 and windows3. All my vfat partions mounted and I can access the data off of them with no more problems.

Thanks again,
