Hello SuSE people,

First the background. (Please be patient - needed to understand the problem)

Have three hard drives hda, which has Windows on it and several ext3 partitions where I put backups, work on graphics, etc. hdb, which has SuSE 10.0 on it, and sda which has a new 10.2 on it.

When I am using 10.0 I can see the partitions on hda. (Backup, Workspace. etc.) and am able to mount them just fine.

When I am using 10.2 I cannot. I can of course, mount them manually. I want 10.2 to be able to do the same thing as 10.0. (mount them at boot)

I used the 10.0 fstab as an example to mount the hda partitions for my 10.2 fstab and added the hda lines I needed. No good. When I boot 10.2 it boots to a console and X is not started. I had to delete the new 10.2 fstab to restart the system.

Don't know why this would happen. Ideas? Suggestions??

Without the fstab entries you try one can only guess what's going wrong. And, why not use YaST Partitioner to make the mounts in 10.2. It should do the job right. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Sunny, Yast partitioner did the trick. Still am curious why editing fstab didn't work though, Oh Well! Thanks again Bob S. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you have saved your old fstab, than compare it with the one cuild by yast and you will see why :) Anyway ... I'm glad it works now. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
