I have windows on the first hard drive and suse 10.0 on a second hard drive. I went to mount /dev/hda1, which is windows to get some files from it but it said that it couldn't find a fstab entry for the drive. I know that I can boot into this drive. what would be the correct entry that I would have to add to fstab?
Whether you need an fstab entry depends on the way you use the mount command. mount <mntpoint> such as mount windrive would require an fstab entry to tell the system what partition the 'windrive' is on. What you should have done is: mount /dev/hda1 <mountpoint> which (usually) provides all the info that the system needs. Occasionally you'll run into a situation where you need to tell it the type of file system on the partition, such as: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 <mountpoint>
