I have just installed an additional HD with the Reiser file system as /dev/hdb with one partition /dev/hdb1. I did this while logged on as root. Then I logged on as a user and attempted to access /dev/hdb1 mounted as /data3. I got the following message: Could not mount device. The reported error was: mount: I could not determine the filesystem type and none was specified Then the /data3 directory was displayed in Krusader. My fstab entry is: /dev/hdb1 /data3 auto auto,user,exec 0 0 Obviously, I've missed something. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you *format* the partition, /dev/hdb1 ?? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery

Do you mean to tell us it was pre-formatted as a Reiser file system?
Then I logged on as a user and attempted to access /dev/hdb1 mounted as /data3. I got the following message:

Yes
Tell us more. What, exactly, did you do? What "mkfs" invocation did you use. Details, people. We need Details!!
