partition modif and mounting prob

[roger_girardin]

hi all

i use knoppix as my main os now on my laptop

as i already had a win2K partition (i don't use but i don't want to delete), i have installed knoppix on a 5go partition
then i gave more 5go

now i feel the need to give a new partition for giving a good issue to /tmp

then i have taken + 2go from a fat partition i had made to share linux and win

so i have upgraded the swap from 500 mo to 1200 mo
and i have created a new linux partition to mount it as /tmp
--------------------------------------------------------------------
now i have several small probs

so
/dev/hda11 doesn't mount at start up (but i can do it manually)
/dev/hda10 doesn't mount at start up (neither manually of course)

i can't get the correct the correct syntax to write on the /dev/hda8

as i use my laptop to work, it's not very cool

lol

any help is welcome

Not too sure I see what your actual problem is, but it seems likely that since you created a new partition, some of the existing hdaN partitions have shifted to (N+1). Check carefully your fstab against the output of "fdisk -l /dev/hda"

[roger_girardin]

thanks for the interest badyeti

the list was up to hda10
now it s up to hda11 as i have created one more partition

as i have messed up the disk at the middle disk
hda10 become hda11
the new created is hda10

but my prob is :

- how to automount hda10 on /tmp (i need it)
- how to automount hda11 on /var/www

coz fstab seems not to work

- what is the syntax for mounting the fat partition read & write
- what is /dev/root.old /initrd ext2 rw 0 0 ==> can i delete it ?

lol

- how to automount hda10 on /tmp (i need it)
- how to automount hda11 on /var/www

Try
/dev/hda10 /tmp reiserfs auto,defaults 0 2
/dev/hda11 /var/www reiserfs auto,defaults 0 2

Assuming the FS type (reiser) is correct (you're using xfs for root...),
and that you have created one such FS on your newly created partition...


- what is the syntax for mounting the fat partition read & write

Which partition do you mean? Your vfat entries look right (rw),
and your NTFS partitions are rightfully flaged read-only...


- what is /dev/root.old /initrd ext2 rw 0 0 ==> can i delete it ?

Yes. I'd simply comment it out, though -
just in case you ever want to have a look at what your mini-root contains.

lol
after a very hard batttle, god is great

the reiserfsk found a prob on hda10 (superblock)
after some mess up on the partition table (i have a win installed at the hd begin and knoppix at the end so i can mess up the disk at the middle)

now all is mounted fine
