| tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/home /home
| ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc
| proc defaults 0 0 none /sys
| sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda7 swap
| swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
| udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/hda/hda1
| /mnt/win1 ntfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb/hdb1
| /mnt/win2 ntfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sda/sda1
| /mnt/sata ntfs defaults 0 0
|
| Okay, now when I try to mount these:
|
| [root at localhost root]# mount -a -t ntfs mount: special device
| /dev/hda/hda1 does not exist (a path prefix is not a directory)
|
| mount: special device /dev/hdb/hdb1 does not exist (a path prefix

|
| mount: special device /dev/sda/sda1 does not exist (a path prefix
| is not a directory)

Hi, pascal.
I think you're mounting the drives incorrectly. Here's how I would
mount them:
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/win1
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win2
I think that should work for you.
(Note: You need to either be root or do a a sudo to run these commands.)
| What am I missing? I have looked at the man pages for both fstab
| and mount, and am still puzzeled. Thanks in advance!
