Accessing FAT32 Parbreastions
NUPUL The short answer: man mount, man fstab
Every line in fstab takes the following shape:
parbreastion mountpoint fstype options dump fsckpbutt
parbreastion:
your IDE (ATA) disks are accessible by there device node: dev-hda, dev-hdbdev-hdc etc. These include cdrom-dvd drives. If you have sata or scsi disks:dev-sda sdb sdc etc. parbreastions on each device are numbereddev-hda1, hda2 etc.
mountpoint: The (empty) directory in which you mount the parbreastion. Removable devices (cd, dvd, usbsticks etc) are often mounted under:mnt and-ormedia (e.g.media-cdrom,media-dvdrecorder)
fstype: The filesystem used on the media. Many many supported filesystems. (e.g. ext2, ext3, Reiserfs, vfat, iso9660). For cd-dvd devices often set to auto, which makes the system find out for itself what fstype is on the media (if supported)
options: several exist (man pages). E.g.: (no)exec : (dis)allow executables being run from media user(s) : allow user(all users) to (u)mount this parbreastion ro, rw : mount read-only, read-write console: allow (u)mount by logged in console user default : use default settings for device dump: 0 if not included in dump
fsckpbutt: 0 if not fschecked at boot, other positive number indicates fsck order.
hello everyone, i do not know whether this newsgroup is a right place to ask such questions but i did not...
Combined example for a vfat parbreastion which is the second parbreastion on your first IDE hd mounted underwindows :
dev-hda2 windows vfat defaults 0 1
Mountpointwindows MUST exist. (mkdirwindows)
Michael Heiming Im not sure if upgrading to FC5 will help because it is mentioned in the fedora website that ATI graphics drivers are proprietary The output of dmesg # dmesg changed. Losing some ticks... checking...
You can mount devices (as root) that are NOT in fstab, then you have to specify fstype, device node, mountpoint, all from the commandline:
(root)# mount -t autodev-sdb1media-usbstick
Again, read man pages carefully! GL. the suggested fdisk -l provides you a list of all available-mountable parbreastions in your system. sudo is a mechanism to allow 'ordinary' users to execute commands reserved to root (or other users). It may or may not be set up on your box. Man sudo will provide insight.

In AWNS the RFD message must be sent false and the DAC message must be sent pbuttive true. The AH function must exit the AWNS and enter: (1) The ANRS if DAV is false (2) The AIDS if the ATN message is false and neither: (a) The LADS is active (b) Nor LACS is active"
