I think hda9 is my 300M fat16 partition. Is there any way I can access the files from that partition? I'd like to if needed download when in windows and then get the files from Linux. When I mount hda9 and get 'ls' it shows files but then next to every entry says something like "no such file or directory"
How are you mounting the partition? What type are you mounting it as (msdos or vfat) and which options? I also remember there being a bug in the code of one of the recent kernels, but don't remember which version but I think it was limited to removable media. Have a quick dig through the archives, the subject had to deal with corrupt Zips or floppys. IIRC upgrading/patching to 2.2.14 was the fix.
Also when I installed Linux I tried first to select partitions that were not adjacent to each other. I was not allowed to do that. Is that correct all partitions that Linux uses have to be adjacent? Or was that just for install?
This is a current limitation of YaST2. YaST1 (if you had started the install from CD2) doesn't have this problem, but then it is more mature.
Can I add the fat16 hda9 into my fstab?
Sure, you can also mount your FAT32 partition as well. First, look through the man pages for mount to check the options you will want to use. Let us know if you have any questions.
