By the way...I looked again at home, when I try to mount "mount /dev/hda6" without any "somefolder" it says something like "mount: can't find /dev/hda6 in the /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab". I looked in that files with "joe" there were something like /dev/root but nothing about partitions.I tried to add something like "/dev/hda6" and when tried to mount it said something like "corrupted etc/fstab"
Please put your /etc/fstab back the way you found it.
You cannot mount a partition without specifying a mount point.
If the partition has been spelled out in /etc/fstab with a mount point, then you can use that mount point with the mount command.
Examples:
In /etc/fstab
/dev/hda8 /boot ext2 <lots of options stuff>
Correct mount commands:
mount /dev/hda8 /boot (doesn't use anything in fstab)
mount /dev/hda8 /mnt (again, fstab doesn't matter)
mount /boot (looks in fstab to find the dev to use)
NOT CORRECT:
mount /dev/hda8 (no mount point specified)
