Can mount hda1, but not hda2,3,4,5, or 6?

Dobie · 06-13-2004, 09:17 AM

Hello Hello.

I figured out my problem while posting here.
Now I just have a question about the solution.

I could not mount partition part 5 until I noticed there is no part 3 or 4
in fdisk-l (ie- I was trying to mound hda3 or hda4 where my data is...)

now that i'm mounting hda5 / hda6 it's working
(backreading this forum lead me to the fdisk -l command which lead to solving my problems so thanks all )

My Question - Is there no hda3 / hda4 because they are reserved?
ie-> I know HD's can have 4 primary partitions, one extended, and x logical (# of letters in alphabet..)
are numbers 3 and 4 held for those 2 uncreated primary partitions?

Code:

Numbers are assigned according to partition types rather than to their correlative position. You can have a maximum of four Primary partitions on a drive, and they will be numbered 1-4. Logical partitions take numbers 5 and upwards. This means that in your particular case you have 2 primary partitions and 5/3 logical partitions on each drive.

hmmm...seam to have hit a different problem...

I can mount the drives now no problem, but they are locked to the user account.
Root can see them...but not user 'noodles' can not.

Code:

Note: I moved the output to single line entries as I find it easy to read. 
Oringinal break was where the "-" is now.

[root@u154n115 mnt]# df -T

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 - ntfs     16G   13G  2.6G  83% /mnt/noodles

I've tried chmod 666 / 777 and recieve:

Code:

[root@u154n115 mnt]# chmod 666 ./noodles
chmod: changing permissions of `./noodles': Read-only file system

And chmod +rx /mnt/noodles

Code:

[root@u154n115 mnt]# chmod +rx /mnt/noodles
chmod: changing permissions of `/mnt/noodles': Read-only file system
[root@u154n115 mnt]# ls -l

drwxrwxrwx    0 root     root            0 Jun 13 09:45 cdrom2/

drwxrwxrwx   21 root     root         4096 Dec 31  1969 windows/

Not sure where the problem is as chmod appears to have solved the issue for everyone else?
my user 'noodles' can seen and use /mnt/windows (fat32).
Figure the Ntfs of /mnt/noodles /mnt/charlene is the hurdle...but not sure why or how to
bypass as I'm only looking for read rights right now.

I have to run out of the house for a bit..but thanks for any/all help

Thanks linmix.

Being a noob a *nix, It's nice to know that I do still know somethings

(even If my explaination was exactly on the money

)
