I've checked the obvious - device and mount point not mounted; not in directory /mnt; tried the "lazy" mount; no entry in /etc/fstab; does not show up in /etc/mtab
No, you haven't checked the *obvious*. Look at the directory, /mnt It is *normally* a place to make other directories for mount points. Try making a directory, mkdir /mnt/sdb3 then, mount -t auto /dev/sdb3 /mnt/sdb3
and see what happens.
ps: google and the manpages help.
hechler:~ # mount -t auto /dev/sdb3 /mnt/sdb3 mount: /dev/sdb3 already mounted or /mnt/sdb3 busy Here is an oddity: - I add a mount to fstab then reboot and my original mount command works (after and umount) - take out the entry in fstab and then the original command stops working again Duaine -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler@att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
