Re: biting off more than I can chew -FDISK

Thank you oshunluvr! I did just as you said and it came up!
Snowhog thanks for your help it was terrific! I followed it to the letter and that was the problem what you initially told me to edit to ftab was this

Then, edit your /etc/fstab file (as root) and add:
Quote
# /dev/sdb1
UUID=1c94956f-dc9f-4b5d-86d7-84f0da250c41 /data ext3 defaults 0 2

When I realized it should have been this

UUID=1c94956f-dc9f-4b5d-86d7-84f0da250c41 /data      ext3  defaults    0    2

I went ahead and corrected it, but didn't say anything as I didn't want to be rude.The correction resulted in this.

then I went ahead and tried to mount the disk again typoed it, corrected and ran fdisk and that blkid thing again

Code:
bryan@Photoframe:~$ sudo mount-a
sudo: mount-a: command not found
bryan@Photoframe:~$ sudo mount -a

bryan@Photoframe:~$ sudo fdisk -l

From the post previous to your last one. I am sorry I should have pointed this out earlier but as I said I was trying not to be rude to someone who was trying to help a noob such as me.

Thanks again to everyone for thier help.

I've got a thicker skin than that. Really, don't ever be hesitant to point out an error in a post - we are all human. But to be picky for a moment, this is what I actually posted:

Okay. First, you need to create a mount-point for this HD. Open a console and type:

sudo mkdir /media/data

Then, edit your /etc/fstab file (as root) and add:

# /dev/sdb1
UUID=1c94956f-dc9f-4b5d-86d7-84f0da250c41 /data ext3 defaults 0 2

So I did tell you to "mkdir /media/data" in the first action, but yes, I typoed in the second when I indicated /data instead of /media/data. So there. We both 'erred.'

But no matter, you got it straightened out with everyones help, and that's what it's all about.
