I am a bit puzzled here... I have a 60 Gig drive that I am trying to mount from Linux (SuSE7.3) and am having a bit of trouble. I have partitioned/formatted this drive as FAT32 on purpose because my simple home network is a mix of Linux and Windows, and the Windows systems need access to the 60Gig drive. FAT32 simplifies things on the Windows side. The drive does NOT have an OS installed on it - it is purely a network/storage drive. The drive is partitioned into 3 simple partitions: 20Gig, 20Gig and 17Gig. In Linux, I can only mount hdb1, the first 20Gig partition. I cannot see the second and third partitions while in Linux. If I boot to Windows, I see the 3 partitions, and can read/write them without any problems. The second and third partitions are definitely there, and active. If I view the drive using YAST Partioner, it sees only one large +/- 60Gig partiton. parted reports this: =-=-=-=-=-=-= Disk geometry for /dev/hdb: 0.000-57259.125 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 57255.095 primary FAT -=-=-=-=-=-=- gpart reports this: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- # gpart /dev/hdb Begin scan...

Guessed primary partition table: Primary partition(1) type: 012(0x0C)(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT, LBA) size: 20000mb #s(40960000) s(63-40960062) chs: (0/1/1)-(1023/254/63)d (0/1/1)-(2549/164/46)r Primary partition(2) type: 012(0x0C)(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT, LBA) size: 26538mb #s(54351296) s(59770494-114121789) chs: (1023/254/63)-(1023/254/63)d (3720/138/1)-(7103/191/62)r Primary partition(3) type: 000(0x00)(unused) size: 0mb #s(0) s(0-0) chs: (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)d (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)r Primary partition(4) type: 000(0x00)(unused) size: 0mb #s(0) s(0-0) chs: (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)d (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)r -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Neither of these seem to match the reality (or my perception of reality) of this drive. This seems odd... I have never had problems seeing or mounting FAT32 partitions before. It has always been one of the simpler x-platform things. Anyone have any suggestions of what I could try next? Or maybe point out my blind spot - where I am going wrong here.... C.
