It's obvious to me that I misinterpreted the information on page "man fstab", and have not mounted these two partitions properly, because they do not appear at all in the df readout:
***** # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 20161172 4263432 14873600 23% / udev 1027092 112 1026980 1% /dev /dev/sda7 30249960 432008 28281340 2% /home *****
...
The pertinent lines of fstab are as follows:
***** /dev/sda12 /mnt/info jfs ro,noauto,user 0 0 /dev/sda13 /mnt/datafiles jfs ro,noauto,user 0 0 *****
They still make sense to me, but there must be a misunderstanding. How is this incorrect?
Well... as I see it, it is correct. The partitions are not mounted because you have not explicitly mounted them... Ie, the "noauto" keyword means that those two partitions will not be mounted automatically, and thus the "/mnt/info" dir will be empty, obviously, till you mount it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
