Answer» Hey guys. I've had to compromise and install CentOS 4 (had to get back into Linux, too much Windows). Anyway...I'm having some trouble mouting my 3 drives. 2 of them are NTFS and 1 is FAT32. Here's what my "fstab" has in it.
Code: [Select]# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,noexec,auto,users 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /windows/D vfat gid=100,umask=002,noexec,nosuid 0 0 /dev/hdc1 /windows/E ntfs ro,noexec,auto,users 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
The drives I'm trying to mount are /windows/C, /windows/D, and /windows/E. /windows/D does mount but when I try to access any files on it my file browser freezes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, and by the way, yes, I have made the directories /windows/C, /windows/D, and /windows/E in the root file system thing.Try changing 'vfat' to 'auto'.
Are you sure this DRIVE is ERROR-free?I am not sure that it is error free. And the fact that "fsck" isn't WORKING doesn't help the matter any.
I'll try out that auto thing now and let ya know how that goes.
Also, what should I do about the NTFS drives? There is stuff on there that I need to be able to read (my music mainly).
Thanks for the help.Check to see is CentOS has an NTFS package (i.e. something like ntfstools). Pretty sure NTFS support will eventually come as a standard kernel module.
fsck isn't working? That's worrying.
Use scandisk from Windows to check the drives first.I ended up dropping CentOS all together and am now back into SuSE 9.3 , at least until I can find another good distro that actually works for me.
By the way, I ended up getting a new monitor and Debian still wouldn't work, even after selecting the right resolution and refresh rate. Oh well.
Thanks again for the help.The detection routines must be having difficulty with your GRAPHICS card. Manual tweaking is required, but that's not an area I have an awful lot of experience in, since most of my Linux experience is with servers, i.e. non-GUI.
SuSE is a pretty good distribution, to be honest, although if I were you, I'd be looking at OpenSuSE or possibly even SUPERSuSE instead. What's the difference between SuSE, OPENSuSE, and SUPERSuSE? I mean, they're all SuSE aren't they?They differ in significant ways. OpenSuSE is 100% open source. http://en.opensuse.org/
SUPER is the SuSE Performance Enhanced Release. A less active project, and not for production use, but you might like it: http://en.opensuse.org/SUPERLooks promising. But, it is like the original SuSE or am I gonna have to get used to some new things? Will I be able to use apt or yum or something like that?
EDIT: It seems that the download links are busted (or at least for me). Is there a mirror for it?Quote Looks promising. But, it is like the original SuSE or am I gonna have to get used to some new things? Will I be able to use apt or yum or something like that? They're very similar, and built on the same base packages. SuSE's package/setup program always used to be YaST, which is one of the most user friendly I've tried. So that's what you want.
QuoteEDIT: It seems that the download links are busted (or at least for me). Is there a mirror for it? Did you try >here<?Thanks for that link. I'm about to start DOWNLOADING it. I'll let ya know how it goes and will post if I need help with anything.
Thanks again.
