I can also mount them if I manually add the entries to the fstab. For example, I add a line something like this: /dev/hda2 /media/temp_mount vfat noauto,users 0 0 When I do this, then clicking on the icon in "My Computer" will work - ie no errors and we can browse the partition with Konq.
This works, but it's less than optimal - 9.3 should work better than this... especially with a clean install with all of the YOU updates (done during the install).
Well, I don't know why they were not detected during install. Perhaps Yast/hardware or roundabouts can add them now. But I wouldn't bother, I would simply define them in fstab, like:
/dev/hda2 /windows/C vfat noauto,users 0 0
and forget about it. Then, pointing konkeror to "/windows/C" should work, I think. You can define it as "auto", of course: then they would be always available.
Perhaps the issue is mentioned in the SDB, I dunno. The thing is, I don't use automount myself, but I'm interested in knowing.
I forgot to try plugging in the external/USB hard drive to see if it was automounted....
That's more important, IMO :-)
Just one point about this (from experience): do not leave the external drive plugged in when you reboot the system because if you do SuSE will put its details into fstab on boot; if you then remove the HD and try and reboot the system will not reboot but you will get a msg stating that there is problem with the file system(s). If this happens logon as root at the command prompt, type mount -o remount,ro /dev/hdx (where x is the partition where SuSE is installed - in my case it's hda10) start mc (midnight commander) and edit the fstab file in /etc by removing the entry/ies for the external HD - should be /sda1-x where x depends on how many partitions there are on the external drive, save the new fstab and when back at the command prompt type mount -o remount,rw /dev/hdax and reboot with CTRL-D. The system should now boot correctly. [Rest pruned] Cheers -- The first myth of management is that it exists.
