Title: mounting a partition for music w/ RH 8.0
Post by: DJ on 21 December 2002, 23:10
Here is my current setup

Primary Master - 40GB HD (w/ 10GB repartitioned for my music)
Primary Slave - 2GB (Don't ask me the drive says its 4GB  :confused:  )for RH 8.0
Secondary Master - DVD ROM
Secondary Slave - CD-RW Drive

Now, I would like to be able to mount my 10G partition in RH so that I can have music to listen to while learning but I am not sure how to check and see which drives/partitions Linux recognizes as hda1, hdb1, etc. Is there a command I can use to verify this? If its any help Windows recognizes my drives partitions as follows

a: - floppy
C: - 30GB NTFS Windows partition
D: - DVD ROM
E: - Lite On CD-RW
F: - 10GB FAT32 Partition (which is on the same HD as the NTFS partition)

I would just like some music to keep me company while I am learning. Thanks

Dj

I looked there first and found that. I see how to do it but I was wondering how to tell what the partition/dir is labeled in Linux. Also, all my music in /music but I cannot get it to play using Media Player, I guess my real problem is that I can see the files in Linux but I cannot play them

The version of xmms that shipped wih RH8.0 does not have mp3 capability for legal reasons. You need to get the required pacakes from www.xmms.org (http://www.xmms.org) it is the 1st or 2nd item from the top.

Also fdisk -l should give you enough information about your partitions do determine which one is the one you need to mount.

I am having slight problems with these instructions.  They work fine but then no one except the root can write to my newly mounted fat partition.  I tried making the /mnt/windows owned by my user jeffberg but when I mounted the FS again it still wouldn't let me write to it. if it helps the command I used to mount was:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows
as su
I can see the files on the hard drive and read them, i just can't write them.
