fstab and mounting windows partitions.

[Althalus]

Ok..

I am trying to mount my Windows partitions but I keep getting this error.

[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: can't find /dev/hda6 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Please check that the disk is entered correctly.

this is my etc/fstab file. is there something wrong with it?

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb2 / reiserfs notail 0 1
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 //mnt/winxp ntfs ro,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0


#

I have tried the sudo line as well but this is what i get..


mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Re: fstab and mounting windows partitions.

/dev/hda1 //mnt/winxp ntfs ro,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

try removing the double slash from //mnt

Follow these instructions:

Every time they tell you to type gedit, just type kwrite instead.

Re: fstab and mounting windows partitions.



I have managed to work around it..... I think it was becuase my windows were partiioned as lvm's, not actual drives...

After spending 2 days re-organising my drives, and installing kubuntu 5.10 ... and making sure i have access to all the drives it all works now....

Thanks again for everybodys help..
