A couple days ago, I mentioned I had 'unavailable' partiton on hd. Well, mkfs.ext3 partitioned it apparently, but it is now 'permission denied' or something like that.. I even got it to say it wrote to it once, but on re powerup, data was vapor. Hum. root@ttyp0[etc]# cat fstab proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 pts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/auto/floppy auto user,noauto,exec,umask=000 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom auto user,noauto,exec,ro 0 0 # Added by KNOPPIX /dev/hde1 /mnt/hde1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix 0 0 # Added by KNOPPIX /dev/hde5 /mnt/hde5 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 # Added by KNOPPIX /dev/hde6 none swap defaults 0 0 # Added by KNOPPIX /dev/hde7 /mnt/hde7 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0 hde1 and 5 write/save okay, but 5 is small..intended for the installed o/s (84% full per Kdiskfree). hde7 was supposed to be the 'home/mystuff' area, but neither installed nor Knoppix live recognize it for writing. I used: # mkfs.ext3 -t /dev/hde7 for command to make the fs on hde7, what should I have used? Do I need to setup permissions and how? ===== Cyclists should expect and demand safe accommodation on our public roads, just as does every other user. Nothing more is expected.
